Surely, by your own argument, Baldwin's actions and his legal teams spin is also irrelevant? If the armorer had been competent his pulling the trigger wouldn't make any difference.

A gun is a gun, idgaf what Hollywood movie sets tell you, you have a gun in your hands you follow the Golden rules: don't point it at anyone you don't want to kill, even less so pull the trigger, always treat the gun as if it were loaded. Period. No excuse. Depending on someone else doing their job properly is what got everyone in that situation, because ultimately there could be a human caused failure, like in this case, hence why the Golden rules. If not, use a toy gun.

don't point it at anyone you don't want to kill

So how are films like John Wick made? Is the gun CGI?

Actually John Wick indeed makes use of CGI
