Au contraire. The fact that they were flying a non precision approach which was more than 30 degrees out of alignment from the runway, with an MDA above the reported ceiling may be *very* material to why they lost control.
As for why they chose that approach, no, that's not terribly relevant, but it's certainly something pilots would tend to wonder.
