Apostasy has always been a divisive thing in the church, there are those who think it can be forgiven (James) and those who think it can't (Hebrews 6), although The Hebrews verses are about going back to the Law to be saved which was settled in Acts 15:1-21.
I mean the Apostle Peter renounced Christ thrice publically, and yet Jesus reinstated him (John Chapter 21).
I believe there is more Scriptures for forgiveness of apostasy than there is for it being unpardonable.
People can fall away for a myriad of reasons, I mean Israel kept falling to other idols over and over in Old Testament and yet God kept pursuing them, The Prophet Hosea and his Wife who kept leaving him was a symbol of that relationship.
There are even verses that indicate a true follower of Jesus can never be lost (John 10:26-30) where Jesus says no one can snatch one of His sheep out of his hands, nor out of the Father's hands.
Then there is the Apostle's John's verses about those who fully fall away and never return not having been saved in the first place, which reminds me of people who accept the gospel for prosperity, being told they will be rich and healed, and when that doesn't pan out they fall away, because it was not the true gospel, it was a import from the West that is Mammonism with Jesus' cross on top.

Not everyone who does so says something evil against the Holy Spirit.
There are plenty of sinners out there who die in unbelief who never mention the Holy Spirit. But they committed sins that were of a category that could have been forgiven by grace through faith.
It is not enough to merely have not spoken words vilifying the Spirit to be saved. One needs to believe the gospel.
