My hunch is a runaway trim.
In the 3 recent incidents of 737 runaway trim (2 MAXs and Fly Dubai at Rostov) the descent angle with the runaway nose down trim was at a max about 45 degrees. The two social media videos of this incident indicate a far greater descent angle.
Plus there was a period of erratic flight prior to the final nose down pitch and descent, this incident seems to have suffered an almost instant controlled flight in cruise to near vertical descent.
