Listen to your first video - the data collection was complete
post-LAS-jettison. They don't care what happens the remainder of the flight
so long as the data recorders jettison and they get the data broadcast.
If the drogues and chutes don't deploy, the astronauts won't be around to
tell us how they enjoy the spinning. My point being, given this is a
transonic escape the drogues would have deployed long before the rates grew
appreciably. These shapes tend to have (sometimes) multiple trim points
which shift with Mach number - without some other aerodynamic or propulsive
feature to get keep the vehicle near its trim point, tumbling reentry is no
surprise.

I can make some assumptions about what they did, like. The shape of the
Orion Capsule is correct. The Center of Gravity (CG) is correct. Given
these two assumptions, this Orion Capsule test was a complete and utter
failure. Back to the drawing board and re-design the entire Capsule, it's
not Human Rated.

Yet, here is what the Orion Capsule flying through the atmosphere.

I would hardly call this "Stable" flight. Exactly how many RPM do NASA
Astronauts like to be spinning at, when they impact the water? Gees, can
you imagine what it would be like to "Work the Problem" tumbling at that
rate?
The Orion Capsule is unstable.
