It crashed because it was a prototype with stability issues, quite likely tied to some of its stealth characteristics including the muffling of the blade and it’s weight distribution due to the use of composites.
The scene in the movie where one of the SEALs breaks through the fuselage when walking on top of the downed helicopter to plant the demo charge was taken from the redacted after action report and interviews with the team members so it’s quite possible that a normal Blackhawk might have managed to perform a hard landing instead of a crash.
