If I were being charitable, the article is saying "Yes, they were grossly and intentionally negligent, but it was only because they were rationally maximizing profit given the market and regulatory environment."
Regulation makes things safer. It destroys competition and raises prices.

Seems like it was a reasonable trade off in this case.

That's not intellectual charity. That's a pointed criticism of capitalism.
