It's technologically trivial, today, to perform an automated secondary backup (local or otherwise - but ideally remote) of days - months, years - of this telemetry and voice recorder data.
(as well as to keep it private & encrypted, and only accessible with a warrant from a judge)
If the FAA does not mandate, at least, this from now on, it will just add to the pile of evidence that they are in Boeing's pocket.
PS: Secondary backup. No existing system has to change. Just an outer layer of backup tapping into the existing data recording loop.
