The A330 (and in fact any airliner) will not have been tested to the AOAs that 447 went to (this may be what you are confused on?). Nor will it ever. As I think someone else already posted recently, no one would be suicidal enough to try the 447 stall in the real a/c (and therefore there is no real data for recovery profile in the Sim either - it's all extrapolated).
I see at 18 sec (and more) in the video people with a parachute on their back ..
So .. if this is possible (apparently) to evacuate the A380 in case of danger .. I see nothing suicidal to test stall like the of AF447 (the most risk is to end with a smoking hole in the ground)
