That was the selling point, yes, but it doesn’t seem to be quite true in real life.

So if they can’t hold that promise anyway, why not provide a better interface?

Because if they didn't pretend that it was the same to fly a 737 and a 737 max, then they would be required to have pilots get a separate type certification for the max, which is costly for airlines and makes the airlines very reluctant to order the max.
