Hi CONF iture,
the design must be firstly detailed, and secondly can be questioned.
It is and has been since 2001 after several heavy landing incidents. See:
Accident of an Iberian Airbus A320 in Bilbao

You may be protected against stalling, but flying too slowly limits your pitch authority beyond what you might expect in a conventional aircraft.

Edit. I've just noticed your previous comment #160
very happy if the system commanded alpha max as requested by the pilot to give a chance to avoid the crash.
I agree it may have helped in that particular case (deliberately flown), but the design is to help avoid stalls during windshear GAs etc. Would you prefer the extra couple of degrees of AoA with an increased probability of overshoot beyond stall + then possible wing drop, or the present design?
