For a far better take than all the fly by commentators here, there is a ex military pilot who did a video on this a year or so ago.
The seat already had issues, was scheduled for maintenance but that maintenance was constantly deferred, and was finally scheduled for maintenance for shortly after the mishap.

The maintenance discussion starts around 35:58 into the video.
- justin66 4y agoHis videos are great, but when this video was made, he was unaware of some of the worst details of the story of the seat’s maintenance. (Potential counterfeit parts, etc)
- KennyBlanken 4y agoOooooor, and bear with me: he was part of a disinformation campaign to make it look like it was the fault of maintenance tech and supervisor, not a major defense contractor.
- fakethenews2022 4y agoYes. But I also think the details he provided are necessary to fully understand what was happening and I didn't see them anywhere else in the comments. Things like the sequencer was going to be replaced by a new model.
