Machines and transducers - i.e. computers, computer-controlled devices (e.g. MCASs), and sensors (e.g. AOAs), fail sometimes.... So, flight-deck crew must always have a manual-override option to fall back on.

That being said, they must also be required to do - at the very least, the mandatory minimum number of hours of simulator training - covering all possible scenarios....

Their findings appear to suggest that Boeing failed to fit a square peg into the foreign airline's round hole. Boeing probably assumed the foreign airlines would have pilots as competent as US pilots.
