The only thing Airbus have actually done is invent a new way of crashing
Have you actually understood anything that has happened in the past 20 years regarding aviation and technology? It may have escaped your attention but FBW accident rates are pretty impressive.

Older aircraft have suffered the same fate, it is documented that pilots reacted incorrectly in a similar situation with all your bells and buzzers yet somehow you twist that round to Airbus are responsible for designing a new way of crashing.

RetiredF4 hit the nail on the head.

Invent something new instead of those with the same or even improved feedback results, and we won´t be back in stone age, but hopefully in a more safer future.
It is going that way whether you like it or not because flying is fundamentally safer with more automation. There will always be the odd one or two accidents yet designers will not lose their nerve because statistically flying has become much much safer.
