The depressurization was done to reduce the oxygen in the passenger compartment. Basically to kill the passengers so they couldn’t interfere with his plans. The climb to 40k was just to speed the process up.
There are a few intermediate levels but pretty much any plane that is flying over 12500 for more than 30 minutes would require either oxygen or pressurization. If not, hypoxia and eventually death would occur.
The passenger area’s oxygen masks had 15 minutes of oxygen, the cabin has hours. Basically enough oxygen to get the plane down to a safe altitude. If he depressurization the plane, the masks probably popped out. At the higher altitude that 15 minutes for the passengers was down to just a few minutes.
The captain did it. Intentionally and manually. Shitty way to go, to take the passengers with you. Other than that, I’m sure the impact did him in instantly.

Is there not a protocol that if one of the pilots leaves the cockpit, a stewardess has to be in there? Seems like a bad idea to allow just one person alone?
It still blows my mind that we aren’t capable of tracking airlines no matter where they are. I understand there is some safety in that. But I’d think we could do some sort of 30 second delay ping of their location off of a satellite.
Eta: I’m not sure why this story is chilling, Pilot suicide was one of the very first theories.
