No I’m not saying it’s the developers’ fault, they’re not the people making these decisions, just building whatever they’re paid for. But in this case it is this dev’s own site, and they’re defending their decision here.
The users…I don’t know how much they (we) are to blame. We all end up succumbing to the pressure sooner or later, and even though I really wish more people would put a bit more of a fight, when I see myself using smartphones, lots of these apps, WhatsApp, windows at work… sometimes I think whether maybe the ones giving up early or just straight up embracing the crap are the wiser ones, because resistance does sometimes seem futile.
Like the whole rest of the world… that’s the users’ faults, not the developers.

That’s fair and reasonable.
That said, I’m happy to also blame the developers.
I faced the same pressures, but I still learned my craft.
