Trying to drag it out into a public lynching/shaming (with the sense that this is for certain people's entertainment) when there's far more significant and traumatic consequences being felt be people who could quite feasibly stumble into this discussion?

It's already public. So far it's really been all about him and whether or not his precious (and indeed replaceable) bike survived and what he considers to be the fact that he wasn't in any way at fault.
If he had time to shout once and for her to register his existence and then to shout again, then he had ample time to brake.
I'm certainly not apportioning blame in any particular direction - we've all had peds step out into the carriageway, but to categorically state that the same thing would've happened time and time again would suggest to me that this particular rider is in dire need of cycle training or an Oyster card.

It's only as tasteless, immature and embarrassing as stating that she deserved what happened to her because she was on her phone.
And there's still the small matter of brakeless/non brakeless riding to consider.
