Bottom line on this accident folks: three pilots allowed the airspeed to fall 34 KIAS below the selected reference speed (110 vs 144 at 500 feet AGL). Don't blame the automatics folks, it is the pilots' responsibility to maintain a safe airspeed.
As long as we have placed the blame on the "right" people, that is all that matters. That is Level 1 thinking.
Level 2 thinking means considering why those people made a mistake, and how to prevent it.
