Perhaps, but the point is, if you're working in DevRel and you think your role is to defend the product from criticism, and you do it by placing the onus on the developer to figure out how to use your product safely, you've totally lost the plot.
I think personally it's an abusive tactic on their part, lots of devs are concerned with being smart, by saying if you know what you're doing you can get the insecure ones to shut up.
