Because he didn't intervene earlier. Seems obvious...

Isn't there a well-documented cockpit phenomenon that occurs when
coupling a very green pilot with a very experienced pilot, something
about the inexperienced one being afraid to point out the mistakes of
the experienced one?

Plus, the passenger wasn't even a pilot yet. And there's no evidence that he
*didn't* point out the PIC's mistakes.
