Turkish airliner crashes at Schiphol

[Avionista]

From the interim report:

At approximately 770 feet, the crew set the selected airspeed to 144 knots. At that moment the actual airspeed was 144 knots. The autothrottle system should have maintained the speed selected by the crew but, with the thrust levers at idle and the autothrottle system still in the retard mode, speed continued to decay.

Does the above statement imply criticism of Boeing's autothrottle design?

For balance, should the report have said something about the crew not seeming to recognise that the autothrottle was in reterd mode and that their airspeed was decaying to a dangerously low level?
