As a browser-maker, I must say that I think you have a very rosy view of 
who gets blamed.  Sadly, that's not how it works.

At least in part, because it depends on the site.  If some random little 
site doesn't work, the user might blame the site.  If Amazon, or Google, 
or Yahoo doesn't work, the user will blame the browser-maker.  Even if 
it's a problem with the site.  Seen this happen, over and over.  The 
difference seems to be that if the user can do without the site the site 
gets blamed.  Otherwise the browser gets blamed.
