You're correct in identifying system design and process issues as being involved. Identifying immediate and root causes gets into systemantics, but note that what you identify is largely about the software now, not the hardware. Rocket design is, more or less, a solved problem, provided it stays within engineering tolerances, well back from the leading edge.
