I can't stop thinking whether similar "compromises" had been made when redesigning the airframe. It's engineering after all. The engineers could be pressed by the management to make certain changes for the sake of profit.
Physics cannot be fixed by software.

The necessity of MCAS means the airframe has fatal flaws.

I would avoid 737 Max by all means, no matter whatever software revisions Boeing releases.
