Site says anomaly with booster has yet to be disclosed.
Who says they HAVE to disclose anything about a privately owned booster ?

Well, the launch escape system didn't waste any time doing its thing, that's for sure. The anomaly, whatever it was, had just become visibly apparent and just milliseconds later that capsule was outta there.

NS-23 was a scientific package flight, no humans aboard. It almost makes me wonder if they were trying something new, or maybe this booster was nearing the limits in number of flights they thought was safe. I haven't kept up with the program so I don't know how many boosters they are using, nor how many flights this particular booster has on it. It will be interesting to hear the results of the investigation.
Like STS-51-L, it happened after "go with throttle up", though this announcer didn't say it in a way that was remotely as cool. We need to have a chat with her on how to sound cool with rocket flight commentary.

Saw in another article (maybe SpaceNews - not sure- and can't find it now) where the booster and capsule for the payload flights is a different/earlier version than the current booster/capsule used for human flight.
Not sure how much is common or different between the two versions.

Well, for one, if they want to get more customers, and NOT have a lot of cancellations, they need to be open about WTF happened. Also, they owe it to all the customers who PAID for those payloads to be flown on that flight (I figure most will probably be reflown for free, or get a refund). The more secretive, the more people will be turned off. Also, the NTSB and probably FAA will be investigating this. UPDATE - reportedly, the booster that failed was an earlier one, that had not been used for the crewed flights

From three days ago (September 9, 2022) FAA and NTSB reach new agreement on commercial space investigations The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have signed a new agreement outlining their roles investigating commercial space accidents. The agencies announced Sept. 9 that they signed a new memorandum of agreement, updating one signed 22 years ago. The agreement outlines the roles and responsibilities of the agencies in the event of a commercial spaceflight mishap. Under the agreement, the NTSB will be the lead agency for investigating mishaps that involve a fatality or serious injury as well as those that involve damage to property outside the launch site “from debris that could reasonably be expected to cause death or serious injury.” The FAA will lead all other commercial spaceflight investigations.

Not a RANT, just 100% PURE TRUTH.
Get a clue. Blue Shepard and SpaceX should both invest in private launch facilities outside of the UN-needed regulation of NTSB and FAA. I'm REALLY surprised Elon Musk has not done that and that he tolerates their baloney whatsoever.
