The actual report points to about 60-80 possible instances of doctors not putting in the maximum amount of effort to save a life over a period of 20-30 years.
Not exactly systemic like people parrot. Sorta like how people endlessly repeated "social credit score" despite most Chinese acknowledging it barely existed for a majority of the population.
Why go on a witch hunt to hold a 19 year old responsible, when meanwhile Mark “they trust me dumbfucks” Zuckerberg is left off the hook for his teenage improprieties?
These people are more than useful rubes. They actively committed unethical (if not illegal) acts.
I dunno, I feel like the kid who used ChatGPT to decide to cut funding to a program such that tens of thousands of people now die deserves some social criticism. People should experience shame when entering in to such a project.
A kid who breaks into a car to steal a backpack gets railroaded into prison. That's orders of magnitude less harmful to society than what these guys did.

The only possible reasons to publish this are to encourage harassment of the employees involved, or manufacture more culture war flamebait.

Eh, kinda sorta. Be careful throwing around terms like "scum people."
A lot of the DOGE people were basically immature children. IIRC, a lot of business like younger employees, because they lack maturity and can be eager to please, so they'll enthusiastically embrace the bullshit you feed them. If anyone's scum, it was the older people leading DOGE who consciously took advantage of the immaturity readily available on twitter.
Some of those guys will almost certainly grow out of it.

I get a little annoyed at this reasoning because I remember at one point when Donald Trump Jr. did something idiotic in 2017, they were acting like he was "just a dumb kid" as like a 37 year old man. I'm younger than that now, and if I committed a crime I'd still get charged as an adult.

We send teenagers to prison for less societal damage. They don't get an opportunity to "grow out of it". I don't know why these teenagers should get more benefit of the doubt.

No need for hyperbolics, no one will take you seriously.

Everything but "scum" was just a statement of fact, though? I guess maybe people trying to wreck government services and subvert democracy might not qualify as "scum people" to everyone.
