Much as Boeing (pretending to only be an integrator, and absolving themselves from responsibility for any suppliers product) would like to blame Rolls Royce for the engine issues, they can't escape the fact that THEY put them on the aircraft, and they are ultimately responsible for ensuring they were fit for purpose and would not fail, before making them available an option.
It really stinks of the "Race to the bottom" bean counter culture, we see far too much of these days.
What next, oh sorry, the Project Manager for that aircraft was only a contractor, so "not our problem" that the aircraft crashed?
