Very different circumstances, I would have thought.
No hull loss, no loss of life and no physical injuries (although there is scope for PTSD-type claims). The strong suggestion is that the failure was caused by a random fatigue-related or manufacture defect-related failure unconnected with departures from normal operating procedures.
Therefore, it seems to me that there is little motivation for a 'shaft the pilot' whitewash and little prospect of it being successful even if it were attempted.
Maybe a rearguard skirmish between the manufacturer and the maintenance organisation, but unless there are specific inspection and NDI procedures for the component that were overlooked by the maintenance organisation, I doubt whether this could successfully be pinned on the maintenance organisation.
