Excuse me, no.

This incident was decidedly not their fault.

The blame lies 100% with Boing.

This event doesn’t not count toward their safety rating.

Some ratings count events regardless of whose fault it is unfortunately.

The airline chose to trust the safety of Boeing's planes. They deserve a greater than zero amount of blame if it turns out that it was a poor choice.

Yes but assigning responsibility is a complex process, it would make the issue more complex, even if it is a systemic issue with the equipment.
