“After Boeing removed one of the sensors from an automated flight system on its 737 Max, the jet’s designers and regulators still proceeded as if there would be two.”

No, no, no. This is just more of shifting the blame from Boeing upper management. They couldn't use two Angle of Attack (AOA) sensors as when there was a differing reading there would be no way to know the correct reading, which is why MCAS used a single AOA sensor on the right-hand side.
