Well, managers are happy to take responsibility for their project/product when everything goes well. It’s actually the argument for their salaries and bonuses compared to lowly engineers. So why should they not take responsibility when it goes sideways? Particularly when failure affects the whole product like the Sunbird app.
You cannot say that the project works because of you, and then turn around and pretend you have nothing to do with its failures.

I've been in at least 2 companies where that was the case and had to be the scapegoat for projects going sideways due to poor management. Humans are shit and would much rather push the blame on someone if the company culture is not blameless.
