Just gonna throw this idea out there:

What if they hired a bunch of engineers who graduated from sketchy, unaccredited colleges in foreign countries and paid them half as much much?

Is this like when Americans blamed Pakistani coders for B737/MCAS debacle only to be proven they implemented Boeing's (fatally flawed) specifications to the letter?
