You cannot solve all problems in aviation with yet another electronic device. There is just too much variables.
And if its starts generating false or superfluous warnings, it won't take long before nobody reacts anymore. See how long it took before "terrain, terrain, pull up". was accepted and people acted accordingly. Sadly, a few times it was the last audible part on the CVR...

One time we were saddled up with a (probably expensive) gadget in the DC10, a landing prediction display where more or less the touchdown was "predicted". I have seldom witnessed such a useless thinghy.

After a few Years a fresh technical pilot had them all yanked out.
