But he didn't? She wasn't even in the loop for many of the consequential decisions

Rule #0 is you don't disparage the company on the way out. She may even have a contractual obligation not to.

So Rule #0 is be silent about the absolute shitshow you are running away from, even when that shitshow is about to ruin many more lives? I think that reflects more poorly on someone than a break in pro-corporate decorum.

Yes, it's exactly that. Most likely as she was a senior executive she'll have signed an NDA containing a "non-disparagement clause". That's the deal with the devil that you make in return for being paid $millions each year.

Edit: A few examples of these clauses: https://contracts.justia.com/contract-clauses/non-disparagem...
