With respect...

Twin-engine aircraft can take off, climb and fly on one engine.
(my bolding)

is utter bullsh!t. There is no certification requirement for light twins to do this.

The loss of one engine alone should not have caused the crash.
Oh yes it could - see above.

...but then the right engine stopped. With the left engine not producing full power, the flight was doomed.
Oh yes...how do they know this? They know more than the ATSB?

With neither engine delivering full power the pilot was losing control
Oh no he did not - he was in control of the aircraft in the air - that's why it landed wings level. If he was not in control, the aircraft would have flipped inverted into the ground as the airspeed descended through Vmca, and no-one would have walked away.
