No. That's probably why he used that sub vs a Triton he had access to. Maybe it's his Ford GT40 and he wanted that discomfort and variation to reset his experiences against enjoying the Bugatti, Rolls Royce etc. It's still something wildly more expensive than what the average person could afford, even if it's several tiers down from the highest levels of technology that is readily available to them.
Without getting into the rest of the post and the moral implications of a Billionaire Class, I think this is more akin to choosing to drive a 50 year old '73 Ford Pinto over a '23 Tesla.

Sure, both have a notable chance of exploding or lighting on fire randomly, but there's a slightly better chance the one that's more recently built won't.
