I agree, but I it's important to understand why.

If/when someone dies of something FDA approved, it becomes a big scandal. Heads might roll, funding constrained.

If 10,000 people die from something that an unapproved treatment could cure, it's not news at all. People have always been from that.

FDA, like any organization, responds to incentives and does what's best for it.
