We don't have the statement in the TYT's original words. So it's quite
possible he said something similar to R' Matisyahu Solomon's take. (Which
is also conssitent with RYBS's take on theodicy in Qol Dodi Dofeiq.) And
then it got simplified in the repetition.

The question would be WRT the Pischei Teshuvah, who repeated the version
we have, not the TYT. But by then, the gezeiros were history, the victims
anonymous, judgment of the Jewish People as a corporate entity, not
individuals.

Tir'u baTov!
