Yes but you don't need to delay other missions because of this specific failure

How do we know this isn’t currently systemic?

Time to take a knee and pause then examine what went wrong.

Yeah, what raverbashing said. Let's say it is systemic. Let's say that boosters that have flown more than 10 times have a high rate of collapse and explosion when they land on the barge. OK, so? Why does the FAA care? It's not like the explosion endangers aircraft - the airspace should be cleared because of the booster's descent anyway.
I think FAA cares because it is under their purview and it did not follow their flightplan.
Systemic, possibly. Dangerous? Doesn't look like it
