All planes with under mounted engines pitch up under power. Some more than others. The MAX just happens to do it more than a traditional 737.

I don't think the problem is pitching behaviour.

The problem is the fact the MCAS is required to fix the pitching problem.

Boeing tried to fix the design issue with a workaround solution only to then find they had created another, even bigger problem.
