This is the fault of the mainstream (and even a lot of science and space media who should know better) calling these two trapped and stranded constantly, rather than what they are - a routine seat bump which happens every time there's concerns with a craft, they've been happening for a long as the station has been in continuous use. I can't find a single article calling the MS-09 or MS-22 crews stranded in space and both of them spent longer in orbit than Williams and Wilmore because of problems with their rides.
