"the pilot was ejected" is how one might describe getting thrown from
a car as well, whereas just "the pilot ejected" would suggest the
pilot had an active role, as in causing his seat to eject him.

Exactly, but what I was alluding to is the fact that the term "ejection
seat" didn't arrive out of thin air. Far from suggesting one or the other,
the precise wording either way would do more than suggest, it would define
what happened.
