I’m wondering how this is different from stick pushers that have been installed in many commercial jets for decades.

Obviously exists for the same reason. The fix on older craft was to verify that you are still safely flying, then disable a system by turning a switch to OFF or pulling the appropriate CB. And use a checklist.

So how dumb are todays pilots, or is the system so inaccessible that pilots are physically unable to disconnect, turn OFF or otherwise disable a malfunctioning system?

Old pilot of old times

The difference is that the new system seems to be less reliable.
