As usual in catastrophic failures, a series of bad decisions had to occur:

- They had dead code in the system

- They repurposed a flag for a previous functionality

- They (apparently) didn't had code reviews

- They didn't had a staging environment

- They didn't had a tested deployment process

- They didn't had a contingency plan to revert the deploy

It could be minimized or avoided altogether by fixing just one of the points. Incredible.
