Now the job is to get that sub off the floor and clean up the mess. That's it. And that'll take likely months.

Why would they give a #### about getting something off the ocean floor at 14,000 depth if not to save the people? I don't think they would even bother with any form of cleanup to retrieve bodies.
Maybe there's some purpose like finding out how it went wrong for the lawsuits and maybe some grieving rich family would want to recover the bodies at their cost. Perhaps if they were actually at the Titanic's wreck to preserve it. But I can't imagine there would be any appetite to clean up the mess, which is practicably negligible if the tube is intact, and all but gone if it was imploded.
