You are reading (or not) a different report to everyone else.

Stall warning went on (continuous) at about 2:10:50, at that point the command and elevator were nose up.

From that point the nose was never "pushed" down - the elevators never went nose down let alone trim. Slightly less nose-up was commanded briefly but not enough to even push the elevators through neutral. And nowhere is there any indication they knew they were stalled let alone were pushing to recover from it.

Thinking that the on-off stall warning, when the plane is far beyond any tested envelope, caused the problem missed the point that the only reason they got so far stalled is that they pulled up, hard, despite (or in response to) continuous stall warning.
