Note: most of what I've read about this problem is here at PSW. I haven't done too much independent reading on it so this is my opinion of what I've read here.
As far as using software to handle a hardware change, that is a standard practice in the engineering world. There are certain things best accomplished from a hardware standpoint but, in my mind, this seems like a worthwhile trade-off to make a hardware change that improves the performance of the product while expecting your software team to implement the controls to benefit from it. To me, this problem comes across as a failure of the software team to properly implement the control system as opposed to a hardware failure.
Where I do see a hardware problem is the failure of the system to properly report the angle of ascent and the lack of redundancy to make sure that there is no single point of failure can take down the plane. Otherwise, this is really a software fix for a software problem, not a software fix for a hardware problem.
