That's completely the wrong comparison and context.
The reason MCAS came about was because management wanted to try to fudge a larger engine into an outdated design created for a different purpose rather than do the engineering and certification necessary for the new requirements and to update the system.
Management wanted to save money. Of course the engineering leadership did not want to fudge something -- they wanted to do proper engineering. But the people in charge just wanted to save money, and the engineering leadership could not do anything otherwise, even they knew that just making the engine larger and compensating did not make sense from an engineering standpoint.
By the time it got to the MCAS, that was far down the line of the decision to not do proper engineering.
