Mcas is just a more robust system because there are more problems to solve for, and to the question of the max10 having mcas.... Of course it will. It's the same 60 yr old design stretched to the max (pun intended) and with huge engines. It'll be redesigned and called something else probably.

If you want to PM me Motch, feel free, and I'll explain in further detail my background. For over year now I've been reading forum opinion after opinion about the damn thing, and I find the irony with the entire evolution and "augmentation" body of work astounding. I thought the FAA would fold by now, and for political reasons this thing would be back in service. Guess not. Nonetheless, most people don't know how we (pilots flying airplanes with augmentation systems) got to where we are with these systems and why. I didn't either until about a yr ago. I'm not a believer technology and regulation will solve every possible problem, and in this case it created an unforeseen one. All IMHO.
Guess we will agree to disagree.
Yes, all the transport category aircraft I've flown have had a stall/stick pusher. But so does the Max's. But the Max's also have MCAS, so thereby the MCAS is different that a stall/stick pusher.

Going back to the original question about the M10 and MCAS..
Yes or No.

Larry at least brought up the point that it actually isn't even certified yet so guess that removes any question about why we aren't taking deliveries.
