Whoever signed off on a flight control system using a single sensor is an idiot.
That wasnt entirely part of the FBW system but more of the protection systems, which obviously will correct a "massive" increase of pitch like that. Remember that A321 that had a problem with the ADIRS, thats exactly an MCAS situation.
