That's a bit cynical.
Not cynical in the slightest. It was stated as fact in a nice airbus animated presentation at the beginning of the endorsement.
... and if you think about it - building aeroplanes is a business, and that's all it is. The airbus system is cheaper and saves operating costs. That's why they did it, and that's how they sell it to buyers.
... the problems start when someone starts "selling" the concept to pilots with rubbish about how safe it is and how you can't stall an airbus.
