Or even easier, just have an auto power reduction as the aircraft hits the stall. Pull the power off, and I bet the nose will drop just like a C152.
Ummm... whilst your conclusion might be true, I am not so sure how well it would work with, say, a Stall Warning on takeoff?

"Stall Warning on Takeoff" is an A320 Memory Drill, and taking the power off I cannot recall as part of the drill In fact, the complete opposite is the case

Had such a device been installed on AF447, the power would have reduced at the first hint of a stall, the nose would have dropped
Disagree - at the first hint of a stall, he just kept pulling back. As others have said, there is not much thrust / couple at cruise Altitude.

PS Does the A320 have a stick shaker, like the 737?
No.
