Sure, PE is bigger than this. But isn’t the issue people are having is that this “failure” isn’t a failure (PE gains something)…it’s part of doing business as a PE firm?

One of many different models for PE firms. Yes it is a tactic used by some firms, but not all. There really are a variety of PE approaches. This article lists some of them: https://www.skynova.com/learn/business/the-9-types-of-privat...

The shady tactics end more commonly as part of the LBO or Distressed style firms.
