Adding a name, or 50 names, to a failure of the system gives the report more credibility. Changes need to be made (the NTSB has been after a fatigue for close to 20 years). Eventually, one bad act becomes a call to action.
To varying degrees, every bad act described in the report goes on at many airlines. Just because company Z only does one or two of those things, does not make Z right: less bad perhaps, but not right.
Each of us, at every airline, must push for higher standards so eventually the worst "bottom feeder" is safer than today's industry leader.
