Then why did the QRH have "EGPWS ALERTS" in the Emergency Procedures?
Using your logic - you would think that "Pull Up" before hitting the ground and apply TOGA power would be instinctive - so why include that one?
I think Airbus believed they had designed an aircraft that was so well protected and that the chance of stalling was so remote - that a Stall Warning QRH procedure was deemed not necessary.
With the benefit of hindsight - that has now been fixed.
Shakers are installed if natural pre-stall buffet is too weak to be recognized (or non-existent).
You'll find that every Boeing & Lockheed has a dedicated stall warning stick shaker.
