Fundamentally I agree with you. But I also think it easy to get the idea that "no responsibility" is a prevailing view. Or at least that it has to be. There are plenty of people who want to do their best. I would certainly considered the author's software involvement to be part of that. It is just hard to do. And increasing hard not only because of software but society at large (like job and housing markets). So the problem exists regardless of various positions on the issue.
Or put another way. If we want open source developers who favor responsibility we have to make it easy for those developers. Otherwise we only end up with people who are fine with throwing things over the wall.
