You really should read the report. The replacement pitots have fallen in disgrace since. It is not certain, not even probable, that they would have made any difference in the particular conditions encountered by AF447.
I try to understand the meaning of your message ...
This would mean that the replacement of pitot is a sham (or smokescreen) and that the risk is exactly the same as before AF447 ... and yet the planes continue to fly happily because a procedure is available in case of pitot problems

It's just like if you buy a car that has the latest technical refinements
But the salesman informs you that from time to time (often when it rains) the brakes (pitots) are no longer available (short-term phenomenon)
It does not matter because you will see a warning on the dashboard telling you that the brake assist is no longer available
In addition the manufacturer shall have available a brochure (procedure) explaining how to do in case of brake failure
Do not leave the road
Avoid obstacles
Try to stop with other methods
Furthermore the seller'll reassure you because he saw that you are a good driver for your drivers license has more than 20 years .. so no problems
Will you buy this car and take your family to a certain death ?
