Only irrelevant if you want to fix symptoms, not causes.
If you demonize a specific company, you might change a company's practices. This is good for the workers at that company who are treated inhumanely.
But know that by focusing on the behavior of a specific company rather than economic system that incentivizes companies to treat humans as disposable cogs, you're letting off the hook every other company that engages in the same behavior. By focusing on the behavior of a company rather than dearth of meaningful regulation to protect workers, you're enabling the exploitation of workers across a swath of industries.
If your appendix bursts, morphine will make it hurt less. But it's probably better to do surgery to handle the root cause.

Pointing out an individual's wrongs doesn't mean I cannot also advocate better regulation for all. Let this instance be another push toward that end. Apathy and "everyone's doing it" cop outs are just as damaging as calling the problem solved after a single corrective action.
