Ultimately it comes down to who could have avoided the accident - both. But who ho had the greater chance of avoiding the accident? Definitely Perez.
You are usually right about these sorts of incidents. But maybe you should watch this one again. This is what SkySport F1 had to say about it

It is a shame since Sainz could have finished 2nd. He was the fastest of the top four cars at that stage of the race. Also a shame for Perez, who may have had his best finish this year and beating Verstappen fair and square in the same machinery. We missed out on some more interesting racing to the line. We will never know if a Ferrari win may have materialized in those last few laps.
