Big difference between a mechanical fault and what appears to be regulatory capture from a monopolizing entity causing a very sketchy product to be approved in a safety critical role - which then kills a lot of people.

You can't call Airbus's design decision to average the inputs a "mechanical fault", somehow that got approved by regulators.
You are damning Airbus with the same attack you are aiming at Boeing.
The 737-MAX crashes are absolutely horrific and how the FAA responded was terrible. The design was shit and should have had better review, same for Airbus and what caused France 447.
I seriously think you should consider reading the history of air travel, they don't say "regulations are written down in blood" for no reason. There's been many an accident due to a mechanical fault that's eventually remedied.
Its a tragedy but you seriously have to take a breath and think a little. If you want to get into a pissing contest over aircraft manufacturers, the air France 447 (airbus plane) crash was largely caused by the inputs being averaged together. On a Boeing plane, the inputs are synced (one side pushes down, the other side goes down as well). Maybe we should eliminate airbus as well.
