"The Nazgul weren't on fellbeasts either."

Why do you think this? The fell beasts are explicitly mentioned between the fellowship leaving Lothlorien and the breaking. The Nazguk lost their horses before the council. There's no telling how early the Nazgul actually had access to the fell beasts.

"You're assuming they went to Mordor only because Sauron had lost."

No matter how easy it is to carry 35 pounds around, it is even easier to not carry 35 pounds.

They identified the problem while the plane was on the ground, and indeed the problem kept the pilots from departing, so there would still be opportunity to put them on the plane.

You literally wrote "I guess this is a problem when you have consumer technology being used in mission critical environments."

The consumer technology portions of the system were the iPad hardware and the IOS operating system, so the respondents pointed out that portion did not fail.
