Many just threw them in the trash, with complaints of constant lost
connections and the pad constantly scrambling and resetting itself to
default configuration - And Xippy laughed at me ranking the controller
as a possible cause of disaster the day this happened.

Think about it [I know thats asking alot from some people] ,,, If your
last command was a slight descent and you lost connection, batteries ran
out or it reset itself, it is going to keep right on descending until it
receives another command, or it bashes into something.
Thats in lieu of any redundant, backup method to control the craft
without the $29.99 controller - And its tough for me to believe that
guys like this could justify spending another $30 for a silly thing like
redundancy.

After total electrical failure and haul failure, this ranks as my 3rd
possibility, almost a tie for 2nd.

The $29.99 battery-powered gaming controller used to pilot the lost
Titanic submarine has received HUNDREDS of complaints since launching in
2010 for 'losing connection constantly and breaking all the time'

OceanGate CEO revealed in 2022 that a video game controller powers
the Titan
It uses a Logitech G F710 Wireless Gamepad first released in 2010

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for
light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
