While the why is important the who is important as well. In any organization of sufficient size there are going to be B grade developers, or even just young developers. It is important to understand if certain people are writing most of the major bugs. Now there might be a good reason for it such as the difficulty of certain pieces of the application, so bug density is not the only thing to look at. However knowing who is writing bugs that cause outages is very important for proper accountability.
