For me it's not so much about shitting on game devs as it is about shitting on the ogres that run game companies. Any of us who have done development should understand we have little control over scope and often want to do more than the business allows us to.

That is completely ok in my opinion. It's just most discourse I come across treats the developers as complete amateurs who don't know what they're doing. As someone who's a professional dev myself I just can't get behind bashing the people doing the actual work when I know we're all dealing with the same business realities, regardless of industry.
