Of course you wanna now why something happened if that thing ended up as a mistake, not even to know whom to blame, but to not make the same mistake twice. Especially if the mistake costs you. There are two issues. One, even if the tech would be capable to explain itself, it’s not clear that anybody besides the smartest AI researchers would be able to understand it. Second, all this just kinda assumes that people (as opposed to a piece of AI tech) are capable of explaining their actions all the time.
