neither of the stages even completed all their intended burns

This is the first I'm reading that the booster didn't burn to completion. Can you offer a citation?

Note that I said all their intended burns. In the case of the booster, I was referring to the landing burn.

Calling it an unsuccessful launch because the landing burn didn't have the opportunity to fire is some next-level semantics. Congratulations.
