Yeah, what raverbashing said. Let's say it is systemic. Let's say that boosters that have flown more than 10 times have a high rate of collapse and explosion when they land on the barge. OK, so? Why does the FAA care? It's not like the explosion endangers aircraft - the airspace should be cleared because of the booster's descent anyway.

Yes but you don't need to delay other missions because of this specific failure
How do we know this isn’t currently systemic?
Time to take a knee and pause then examine what went wrong.

I think FAA cares because it is under their purview and it did not follow their flightplan.
Systemic, possibly. Dangerous? Doesn't look like it
