I have failed to see evidence that the software was faulty.
If anything, it tried to do what it was supposed to: stop the satellite from spinning.
From the report:
> Feb 28, JAXA sent the commands to update the RCS control parameter based on the center of mass changes by deployment of the EOB. Through the post-incident investigation, it is confirmed the RCS control parameter on Feb 28th was not appropriate.
So the software worked as designed, but was fed crappy data.

And the question of whether we consider software consuming data from a physical device that doesn't correctly account for the possibility of that device feeding it garbage to itself be crappy is a largely academic question. The whole system has to be considered for success.
