To that point the PNF did not brief CAP that the stall warning had been ringing for a minute.

I think Takata and others suggested that PF was PIC so the left seat FO could not take over in such a manner. It has been suggested that he might have liked to based on wording and dual input. When CAP returned to FD there was little time/benefit for seat change.
