I'd have to agree with everything that you said. The pilots have to aviate, navigate, and communicate in that order. In this case everything went to shit quickly, without a chance to broadcast on GUARD or HF.
We know that there was at least one broadcast to AF mnx indicating a power issue - but note that there was still power to operate that system and the associated radio. Power flux from a big lightening strike? Engine / generator issues due to icing in the engine? Shouldn't be but could be. A pressure problem could be explained in this way.
But the lack of reporting from the cockpit suggests that things went to shit quickly, possibly via a loss of airframe integrity.
