Just to take a step back from this and assess it for what it potentially means:

1. Inadequate training.
2. Inadequate design.
3. Inadequate quality control for some individual part(s) that failed and led to this.
4. Inadequate maintenance and/or inspections.

While more than one may be true, it is unclear to me which one is the single point of failure resulting in this particular event.

And just the 5. Option: just plain and simple pilot error?

I think we should refrain from to premature speculations as long as barely any facts are at hand, otherwise the typical and usually stupid prejudice-based reasons are circling around and this is not helpful.

I think likelihood of pilot error is influenced to some extent by #1, inadequate training.

I wouldn't say that.

To be fair (and per my limited understanding), delta-wing aircrafts without horizontal stabilizers are inherently at higher risks of stalling/losing control and crashing during low-speed maneuvers at low altitudes. This is especially true for the likes of Tejas which doesn't have both horizontal stabilizers and canards.

You never do mistakes within their job, by driving a car or otherwise regardless all attention and likely the best or at least adequate training? ;)

Slightly longer version of this video shows a fire ball racing up and ahead after the crash, possibly an ejection attempt?

No. At the instant when the aircraft impacted the ground, the sudden decceleration of the aircraft would've transferred ginormous amounts of G-force onto the pilot, causing significant physical trauma to the human body and making the impact very much unsurvivable. And if even he did survive the initial impact, the ensuing fireball that came up immediately upon impact would've engulfed him.

That smaller fireball seen raced ahead of the main fireball is most likely certain aircraft parts that detached from the aircraft as the aircraft disintegrated upon impact, which travelled forward mainly due to forward inertia.

May the pilot RIP.
