Well, as you said yourself, the FAA itself calculated the chance of a MAX crash to be significant higher than other models.
Sure, those things take time, but a more decisive action should have been taken sooner.
It might not justify a full ground but at least it should have justified a very strongly worded Advisory Notice to pilots (not sure of the specific nomenclature for this document) also the AOA disagree light should have been made default ASAP.

So no, FAA has a lot to blame here.
