Sure. Just don't think you can call this a win. It could have been worse, as DaFace pointed out.

Good video of it here. Looks like it ALMOST got back in control even with the stuck grid fin.

Yeah, it looks like it. The re-entry burn was over by the time the malfunction took place, right?

I think you missed the "at that point" part. Once it's out of control, safety becomes the priority. Obviously they aren't happy with the loss of a booster, but Elon once estimated they could get 70-80% back, and they're way above that.

I wonder if that was planned? An abort out to sea instead of land.

At least partially, yes. Both at land and at sea, the booster comes down aiming just a little off of the landing site, then kicks over at the last minute if everything looks good. That's what happened with the FH center core.
