Rule: Grammatical Structure 'due to'. The structure of the sentence requires a phrase that connects the failure to its causes. The phrase 'due to' means 'caused by'. The structure '...was due not to X, but to Y' is a common and grammatically correct way to present contrasting causes. 'Because' and 'since' are conjunctions and would require a different sentence structure (e.g., 'The company failed not because its products were poor...'). 'Resulted' would also require a different structure (e.g., '...resulted from...').
