I think Airbus convinced Airbus operators it couldn't be stalled so why not pull back on the SS because it can't stall even with UAS.
That is a myth perpetuated by airline TREs who don't consider anything other than Normal Law. I once had a significant 'discussion' with a ba training captain who assured me that it was impossible to stall an A320. Lord knows how many pilots he'd passed that piece of BS on to.....

If people took the time and trouble to RTFM they would soon understand the aircraft's FBW envelope protection features and how they are degraded if Normal Law is not available. But no-one pays them to do that, so they don't bother....
