The point isn't to dance around the incident, but to not blame people. You can blame systems, design, engineering culture, processes, but don't blame people. Even if someone accidentally pressed the 'destroy prod' button, that's not the fault of that person, it's the fault of that button existing and being accessible in the first place.
I have no empathy for Fastly-the-company. I hate the fact that the Internet is centralized around CDNs. I wish this idea of 'but we _must_ run a CDN for our 1QPM blog!' would die in a fire. But I can still empathize with the Fastly engineers handling this shitstorm right now.
