Not entirely. I don't really have a quarrel with the quotes message (I wouldn't really care, TBH), but with how it's used. And sadly, it usually is used to dismiss someone's efforts by misinterpreting the other person's motives (or "expectations") - which coincides with exactly this pattern.
So basically, whenever I read the phrase so far (luckily, I never had to hear it in a personal discussion yet), someone uses it to belittle someone else without taking his/her perspective into account. Or any changes to the world as a whole for that matter.
