"The cynical truth is that if Shazier’s hit was clean as officials decided, then it should have been called a Pittsburgh touchdown because Shazier ran untouched to the end zone.

Instead, they just gave the ball to Pittsburgh at the spot of the recovery because … just because."

Which is why refs should not be so quick with the whistle.  Especially when all turnovers/touchdowns are reviewed.  Blowing it dead provides no correction to the play, other than awarding the ball to the recovering team.
