We never left the twentieth century because it was too profitable to some ghouls.

Given the state of the education system that's a bit too far away for most
Meaning those who run said society see it as going all to plan.
Agreed, the root cause of this is that higher education is too expensive for the average person as the result of a system that chases monetary value at all cost.
As someone who has a slightly unhealthy obsession with shipwrecks and ships in general, it's mostly because compared to most ship disasters, the Titanic has much more information publically available and has a greater presence in modern culture, resulting in more books movies and other things being made on it than compared to something like literally any lake freighter accident which is much more horrific and much more unsurvivable than the Titanic. The general public however does have more familiarity to the Titanic because of the type of people who went down on it. The Titanic claimed the lives of people such as John Jacob Astor who was the 12th rich person in the world when he died, if I recall correctly, while the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald , for instance were all working class sailors from the Great Lakes.
Now even more money can be ~~grifted~~ profited in exchange for maintenance parts.
