It was elsewhere reported the FAA made the AOA alert an optional feature for the 737MAX on American carriers. It was not deemed critical for safe operation.

Southwest said it decided after the Lion Air crash to install a separate AOA gauge on future 737 MAX deliveries to provide “supplemental visual feedback for identifying erroneous AOA data."
