Expecting a plane to function 100% perfectly all the time is not realistic. Things break. The pilot is supposed to manage those things. A pilot with more experience should be better at it. That's my train of thought here.

Right, but 'more / better training' is a broad stroke. If you separate real in-flight hours from the training time allocated to what was new with the planes (MCAS), I think the finger pointing narrows down pretty quickly. They may or may not have had lots of in flight hours.. based on reports they almost certainly lacked training on MCAS
