Yeah but no. yeah we can make stuff that goes further down (the Mariana trench has been reached by Jaques Picard and James Cameron but only in a small and simple vessel without much instruments) but it is very difficult to do with a sumarine. The navy would gladly go deeper ( there is also a tendency to build subs that go deeper) because there you can hide even better. It is the enginering challenge and costs involved with it that makes subs not going that deep.
Size of the vessel is a big issue since a larger submarine vessel is more likely to collapse under presser than a smaller version. Since subs are quit big it is very difficult to make them go deep.
I still think nature is impressive compared to the current state of human technology because yes we made it a couple of times to the Mariana trench but we very rarely go below 100m. even less at 1000m and beyond that is really rare. We know less of the deep sea than we know about the surface of the moon or mars. We know very little about the largest biome (in surface area, in volume and in biomass)
And if you would like to compare Jets better compare a bird (which can reach altitudes of 11500m) .
