Boeing's mistake was to piggy-back MCAS input on the left stall system's AOA sensor. That violated the basic design principle of avoiding 'single point of failure' scenarios. In the case of the MAX the single failure of the left AOA vane caused two problems - an erroneous stall indication and MCAS driving the trim nose down.
Airplanes tend to exhibit enhanced stability at the sacrifice of efficient performance in the forward CG range. And low stability with more efficient performance in the aft CG range.
An excellent article about pitch stability. Even though it's about Part 23 airplanes, the concept is identical: https://airfactsjournal.com/2013/05/the-weight-and-the-balance/
