That's an inaccurate statement. The SW system is active at all times - but it can't function without valid data from the AoA vanes, and the AoA vanes are only certified to operate above 60kts IAS. The ADRs treat AoA data as invalid below that IAS, but the knock-on effect on the SW system was likely unforeseen.
As QA380 said:

It might have helped, but the truth is that the tactile shaker has also been ignored or disregarded on a significant number of occasions in the past.

Different scenario entirely (failed IR accelerometers in the ADIRU - air data was OK). Indicated airspeed never dropped below 158kts. It's been pointed out repeatedly on earlier threads that other manufacturers have been very quiet on the subject of what invalid AoA data will do to their SW systems, which I suspect indicates that the result (SW cessation) would be similar on other types.

Rubbish. The French state currently holds less than a 12% stake in Airbus Group (formerly EADS):
