Presumably because it was a different scenario. As I've said before, with SR111 the most glaring outcome regarding procedure was that the cockpit smoke procedures were not fit for purpose because the procedures took too long to follow and did not take into account the possibility of an immediate need to land. With AF447, the crew did not follow any published procedures, so there was no need for that kind of experiment.

The problem with that is that in the event of sensor/air data failure, there's always the possibility that the sensors could return a false Stall Warning. Airbus (and presumably Boeing, MD et al.) made a design decision that in the event of such failures, the presumption should be that the pilot knows more than the systems, and that the systems should therefore defer to the pilot.
