I have friends that fly the MAX for US airlines. They say that the problem was that the cheap foreign airlines would order planes without the backup sensor system and not train the pilots to recognize the symptoms of a failure of the only sensor system. If they had bought the standard system, like all US airlines, there would not have been a problem, and even if there had been a double failure, US pilots are trained to recognize it and keep the airplane under control. The foreign airlines didn't give that training, so the pilots didn't know what was happening.
