Aircraft using FADEC are relatively recent so why isn't power-loading

design and build a FADEC why don't we have enough smarts to protect it?

That's really the question, though it wouldn't
necessarily have gotten them home safe. Before
the FADEC dropped out, there should have been
an undervolt alarm and load shedding. Then they
could have cranked the gear down if possible.
