It's creepy but then again it's over open sea in deep water. It would be like trying to locate an Asprin in a very large swimming pool. Add to that third world planes, third world technology and capabilities in search and rescue {except for help from distant Australia}, and the odds realistically for recovery simply aren't that good especially if a plane sank intact with little or no breaking apart of the cargo area etc. It's difficult enough at sea finding what you know there & is at a specific location. A wide spread search far more so.

Some things are just bad breaks. Some people for example could not believe Ron Brown's plane unintentionally crashed in the mountains near Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia. I believe it. I've seen first hand what the Alpine Express as it is called by some in the Adriatic Sea can do. We had a storm his is while anchored outside Dubrovnik. Even with our radar capabilities on the carrier we had very limited advanced warning of a storm that slammed us and caused us to drag anchor.
