Doesn’t eliminating RCA case by case also lead to fewer CFA thereby eliminating them as well?

It's rarely a single cause, there's no root, it's a forest.

It's usually a combination of things that are not quite right, specially in mature orgs where all the simple fixes have already been applied.

It's semantic, if you do RCA right you don't stop at a single cause, but that's what usually ends up happening.
