MCAS is only useful in very extreme situations rarely seen in normal flight. Most pilots will never be in a situation where MCAS is useful.

And if they are in the situation? Also, there's no data on how many times MCAS activated on non-crashing flights with valid data, so this statement is 100% speculation.
