Certainly the aircraft's systems were revisited after this incident, as is

It might be a great cue. There goes MX's theory of all things
mechanical being "under total command of the pilot" out of the window.
A completely non-FBW connection between pilot and rudder - and still
the rudder deflects uncommandedly.
Mechanical failures can happen with any aircraft, FBW or not.
Fixing an UN-intentional mechanical flaw that caused crashes, is quite
different from revisiting an intentional system design.
