No they won't. They won't struggle to explain anything because in US business culture, nobody ever actually takes blame except underlings. Nobody ever even asks them to explain themselves. Even in public companies it seems like questions from shareholders that actually get asked in quarterly calls are vague humble brags. "What are we going to do about the problem of winning so hard" while they had record layoffs the previous quarter.

Those talking heads haven't had to mea culpa for : Hype about Hadoop, hype about blockchain, hype about no code, hype about the previous AI bubble, hype about "agile", hype about whatever JS script is popular this week, etc.
