I always thought that was by design for league scoring. Seems unnecessarily punitive to punish a player for dying from something they have little control over.

However, the pilot did die from being hit by an opponent (albeit belatedly). How is that different from getting your tail/wing/fuselage shot out or a PK or explosion, which are instant?

In not all leagues do you die instantly from PK or explosion.
The pilot died eventually from the hit but that hit did not shoot the plane down. The fire brought the plane down. Which is why it does not count as a kill. Ergo in my mind for LEAGUE scoring it should not be a -1. Like I said, I thought this was discussed long ago when they implemented leagues here.

If it does count as such it wouldn't be the first thing I have disagreed with in league scoring.

I agree that it shouldn't count as a kill for the other team's shooters even though they caused the fire, and so indirectly caused the crash.

I do think it should count as a death for the crashed pilot though. To start with, there is some control the pilot has over the fire. He can maneuver in ways that make the fire more likely to go out, or he can retreat from the battle if he has particularly vulnerable areas of his plane.

And in the end, I think crashing is crashing. Any crash is presumed to kill the pilot, and so it should result in losing a point from your league score.
