The Quito pilots were at least given the benefit of the doubt given the challenging nature of Quito. It was only when it was revealed they'd broken the aircraft by badly handling an unnecessary visual duck under manoeuvre that the criticism began. That really isn't the same as talking about a crew that faced a sudden total loss of thrust 2 miles short of the airfield in a scenario they hadn't trained for and which was deemed to be statistically impossible.
