The article paints it as Greece saying they would handle it, then sending a small coast guard boat with a four man special operations team with weapons.
Basically everyone assumed Greece would handle it in a humanitarian way, instead they let the boat sink and arrested some of the survivors.

That may be more the way the article presents it - Frontex infamously replaced a more humanitarian approach under the guise of “cost savings” and then over the years grew their budget beyond what was spent on border crossings before they came into the picture, and now is under increasing scrutiny over how they just watch migrants die or even push them back - the Mediterranean border crossing is said to be the deadliest in the world.
