The internet is to apps what roads are to cars. Don’t blame the road for bad drivers.

  It's actually an interesting analogy, because road design can have a great effect on the drivers - you can't prevent bad drivers, but you can mitigate issues (see: traffic calming, roundabouts, etc). Similar things that were baked into the internet continue to provide dividends today, but it has to be intentional, and as more and more of the modern internet is designed by groups of companies rather than groups of academics it can shift.
