Yes. In the same breath someone might denigrate users for not knowing what they want and also explain about how they can't accurately timeline their personal coding project where they are the only user and developer.
Designing any complex system is hard. Asking users to take part in that design process means asking them to do something hard (or at least that's hard if done well, and hard to tell you aren't doing well unless you put in that effort you didn't know you had to). Complaining about bad user requirements as fine, but truthfully it should be done in a way that's self deprecating...
