It isn't easy to quickly see a trim runaway, but then, they don't happen that often!
There is a trim indicator on the Boeing so you can see the trim position, and you could see the trim moving on that - but you'd only look at it if you needed to.
Both Airbus and Boeing have been happy to do away with the moving trim wheel, and have been for years.
Possibly. It would be interesting to see if there were more of these event types in aircraft without a moving stab wheel compared to those with, but it would seem a little overkill to have a moving stab wheel in an aircraft that you don't trim!

And wouldn't it help have an obvious feedback of trim movement to increase the awareness of for example deteriorating speed in VS, ALT or GS AP modes?
