The article implies that using an off the shelf controller wouldn’t pass regulations. What regulation, exactly? This is a fully custom build sub, there’s nothing regulation about it, save for things like emergency gear, communications, and the like. But steering control? I very much doubt that.
Well presumably it’s registered and licensed in some country that inspects commercial vehicles for seaworthiness periodically. Having a water resistant mechanism that can control your rudders and buoyancy seems like a baseline for seaworthiness but that’s just my take.
I was watching a news item earlier and apparently on getting on you need to sign a paper that says it hasn’t been inspected or certified by any third party. It’s just DIY.
Looking at the corners they cut, they didn’t spend enough money on this. Why is there nothing to automatically locate them? Why aren’t they able to communicate with the outside?
Tbf, poor people do risky activities too. Rich people hire submarines, pay for tourist trips to space, and go climb everest, all of which have a fairly high risk of death. Poor people do street racing, do wheelies on dirt bikes, or go diving off cliffs.
It’s just some humans are super cavalier with their safety.

Millionaires and billionaires with too much money and not enough sense.
