This item is as likely to have drifted to Reunion from the West Coast of Australia as water splpilled on your kitchen floor winds up in a vase you have stored behind the winter clothes in the upstairs hall closet.
The prevailing south setting currents are more likely to have carried the wreckage from a location consistent with the early morning sightings of MH370 near the Maldives.
It supposedly washed up from somewhere down deep in the water?
How much more plausible would it be that someone planted that flaperon there?

You’re not even close. The Maldives would be under the influence of the Equatorial Counter Current going in the wrong direction. Anything washing up at Reunion Island would be under the influence of the South Equatorial Current which sweeps the western Australian coast and moves it west.
