> it's worth mentioning that MCAS had nothing to do with flying the plane, only making it feel more like the 737NG to its human pilots

Not entirely true, the original issue is that the engines are bigger and the center of gravity is moved forward ( because the 737's are too low), thus the planes tend to stall. MCAS is there to correct the stall so that they feel more like 737NGs, but the issue is forcing bigger engines on an obsolete design.
