They are linked in the Airbus (IIRC it gets the average of the controls if there are two inputs), but the sidestick doesn't provide feedback

Yeah, by 'linked' I meant 'connected by some sort of linkage (ideally physical) that reflects the movements of one controller to the other'

I'm wondering why Airbus adopts this design? Seems very stupid from a cognition point of view. IIRC Air France Flight 447 stalled due to the same issue.
