It didn’t sound that way to me.
It sounded like the plane was not responding and the instruments were having a serious malfunction...systemic
Two things of possible error stand out:
Captain coming in earlier rather than later
and why no response to the first stall warning...crickets
The rest they sounded reasonable to me but the bird just wouldn’t respond

The data recorder was decoded a few weeks ago. The bottom line is the pilots in the cockpit did not how to fly the plane without the computer. European airlines hire pilots with no real flying experience.
They had a reliable backup instrument for airspeed, altitude, and attitude, but didn't use it.
