Maybe when the victim isnt a billionaire organization that is true.
In the case of these large corps being hacked, they are 100% responsible, and most of them we do know how they got hacked; its usually through very humdrum (if organized) means.
100% responsible? The hackers that hacked them have no blame whatsoever?

Sure, but when you find plain text passwords or unencrypted credit card info (two of the basics of starting ANY business), victim blaming seems warranted.
Security is hard. Blaming the victim of a hack is pointless because usually you have no idea whether they did something wrong or if they were the target of a particularly clever attacker.
