Did you miss the part that Ethiopian bought a 737 Max simulator that for some bizarre reason, doesn't simulate MCAS? Seems like they tried pretty hard to get their pilots checked out on the new plane but in the end, Boeing's screw up(s) prevented that.
1. MCAS suffered from mission creep (ever heard of that concept before?).
2. Multiple engineering and supervisory sections at Boeing and the FAA missed that.
3. MCAS is now more powerful than before and successful operation hinges on a single, error prone sensor.
4. Even the manufacturer of the simulator (Thomsen) who, after all, has to work very closely with Boeing, didn't get enough information to simulate the plane correctly.
Shit happened.
