Help me out here; I think what you say is entirely plausible. So why did they allow these people to die? Was it so they would not be around to tell the truth about what happened?
0bama was worried that any rescue attempt failure with fatalities would be compared to Carter’s ‘botched helicopter rescue’ in Iran. I think that’s the ONLY thing they were worried about at that time; IMPACT TO CAMPAIGN. Throw in a pinch of denial and attempt to cover-up.

No one knows the future. They had sent an available force that was in country. That force was delayed. The former Seals had driven off several attacks and had survived for several hours. They may have thought that they would make it without bringing assets from out of country.
It could be simple incompetence aggravated by political machinations and a willingness to coverup and prevaricate, believeing that the MSM can and will cover for you.
