> into irrecoverable stall

My understanding is it wasn't enough to push it into a stall, the MCAS would just moderate the pitch up slightly so it behaved like the 737.

> to meet FAA standards is itself wrong

The FAA mandates that all jet airliners since the 707 have a yaw damper to correct for "dutch roll" instability. Augmented controls are normal on jets.
