I felt it was kind of telling that they found the two titanium end caps in the debris field, presumably intact, but only pieces of the pressure hull.
If the hull itself failed, however, given the way carbon fiber fails, finding the hull in many pieces seems to be the expected result.

The carbon fiber hull was a much bigger concern.
