It kinda was cheaping out. They wanted to release the plane asap, but without mcas they needed to recertify the whole plane which wouldve taken time and wouldve lost them a shit ton of sales to airbus. So they faked it with mcas.
Whatever you call it, the mcas system was a whole bunch of shit piled layers layers of shit. The videos are very interesting, ye.
