That was really it. Orb wasn't really at fault. Had they surrendered, Blue Cosmos would have taken it over and killed all the coordinators, which included Shinn and his family.

Had they blown the Driver before launching AA into space, EA might have just left them alone but the TSA wouldn't have been formed, and shortly afterwards Zala would have Genesised the Earth, killing everyone, including Shinn's family.

So really, Shinn couldn't win. There was no way his family was getting out of there alive. He just decided to blame Orb, instead of understanding it was just something that couldn't be helped due to circumstance.

Though Durandal intentionally making Shinn as arrogant and self rightous as possible so he'd be an easily manipulated tool didn't help either.

I agree with this. He's family was just unfortunate.
