I disagree. Including parts of the CVR transcript relevant to the accident allows more insight for readers into the thinking of the pilot (if single pilot) or the CRM (or often lack thereof) if multi-pilot.

Recordings are sacred and it is totally right that these are tightly controlled, but parts of the transcript directly related to the accident in question can be very enlightening. I think the balance of excluding any detail on irrelevant topics is nicely struck as entire conversations are often skipped in a "[discussion about other helicopters, maintenance, FBOs]" filler which rightfully does not reveal private discussions with no relevance to the incident at hand.
