I don't disagree. I disagree with the idea that it's 90% the fault of the consumer.

How is it not? We're all to blame.

The consumer is 90% to blame for the actions of an international corporation who have analyzed and manipulated their target demographic? If it were a relationship you'd be victim blaming. If I hit you for being stupid, is it your fault because you were stupid or is it my fault for thinking hitting you was a solution?
