That's because describing it as "deliberate fraud" would require evidence of intent that they don't have. I agree that it's likely the case, but I wouldn't expect a journalist to state it as fact at this point.
FTX firm headed by SBF collapses after failing to process user withdrawals. Mismanaged funds and risky trades are to blame. Victims and prominent figures within the crytposphere allege fraud.

If you want to compare tone, you can look up any NYT article on FB https://www.nytimes.com/topic/company/facebook-inc.
If you want something specific to compare, just take a look at the headline/subtitle which about as far as most people get in any article.
