If a failure happens because someone ignores their clear responsibilities, then that is unacceptable

People don't just "ignore their responsibilities" out of malice. Generally people "ignore their responsibilities" either because they are pressured into it, or because they are lead to believe it is the right thing to do in that situation.

Either is unacceptable, of course, but the boots on the ground are rarely to blame.
