I suppose, it just seemed like putting the blame on the consumers rather than greedy, short-sighted executives.

It's not, it is after all entirely true. The actual blame for the executive is that they don't understand that the consumer is ignorant beyond reasoning and dumb as rocks.

They are trying to push a product that's unreliable to an idiot, and anyone with two brain cells knows not to trust it.

Making it a twice failed concept from the start

A good product should be useable by even a fool and malleable enough to be used by anyone.
