Last I checked there’s a pilot at the controls of all these aircraft. The DHC-2 Beaver has millions of hours and millions of flights without hurting anybody. Each accident has a story behind it, generalizing that the Beaver is the cause may not be productive to preventing future accidents.

Maybe look a little harder at the “Pilot Shortage” as the common denominator? Just because a pilot has had a successful career in other types of aircraft does not necessarily prepare them for “Bush Flying”. Off pavement flying requires more then flight computers and graphs.
