The thing had been criticized for years as unsafe, and
they actively resisted getting any sort of safety
certification, with now-tragic results.  In the clarity
of hindsight, their bluster about such things "stifling
innovation" seems particularly ridiculous.

I believe what you said is true, but in fairness, any
sort of implosion at that depth would have been
catastrophic, regardless of hull material.  But the
hacker, "move fast and break things" mentality really
doomed them.
