If 10000 feet/min is not some airflow, what is it ?

Fictional software. As developed and certified - can't.
Then why the OEB disappeared for some aircrafts ... ?

Not necessarily just because it's a FBW of different flavour. Part of it is certainly attributable to her price tag combined with date of service entry - she just didn't trickle down yet to lower tiers operators.
The safety record for both manufactures is not in question, but the accumulation of events regarding the Airbus FBW and its protections is real.
