Perhaps because Baldwin, as far as we know, did everything correctly? He had the armorer prepare the gun and assistant producer check it. The armorer failed to do it correctly and the assistant producer failed at their part of the job. They are guilty of the accident, because they did not follow the procedure required, not the person who gave them the task
No one is absolving responsibility from the armourer.
But if I’m the boss of a warehouse, never enforce any OSHA safety standards against my staff, and one of them just signed off that they inspected the forklift that day without actually doing so, and I drove the forklift and killed someone because of the forklift’s malfunction, I am, as the boss, partly responsible for the incident.
To say otherwise is flying against rules and regulations written in blood, as we can clearly see.
Baldwin is one of the producer (boss), who did not enforce any safety standards (allowed crews to bring live ammo to the set, allowed armourer to be subpar), and ended up with one of his staff dead.
If you don’t know how my analogy applies to the situation you clearly don’t know enough about it to form an informed opinion.
ALL workplace safety standards should be the responsibility of the boss in some capacity. That’s how safety standards are maintained. If the boss is allowed to shrug it off saying “it’s not my fault the staff is an idiot” that’s how we end up with new hires dying on the line. If you can’t understand that I could only hope you aren’t in charge of anyone’s safety.

How does this even apply to the situation?

And you’re basing these two claims on?
