Default stall recognition and recovery

The stick pusher will only activate if other stall warning, or low
speed protection, systems have failed to prevent the aircraft becoming
critically close to stall speed (strictly stall alpha). Why do you
think that entering a stall, which for some aircraft may be
unrecoverable, is better than having a stick pusher prevent the stall?
