The impression I got is that the FBI's FICA fuck-ups occurred because the subject was Carter Page, who'd already been on the FBI's radar for his Russia dealings before his time as a Trump campaign adviser.
While the surveillance of Carter Page doesn't appear to have netted anything of value in the election interference investigation, based on the Mueller and Horowitz conclusions, I agree with you that the FICA warrants for Carter Page were likely not justified.
And, I don't believe that the FBI was exonerated by IG Horowitz's report just because the investigation into 2016 election interference itself was deemed appropriate, justified, and not biased against Trump by both Mueller and Horowitz.
