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.
