That's like saying you shouldn't have elections because totalitarian dictators can abuse them. If your boss's plan is to make you feel bad, it doesn't matter what management technique they use.
Many "competitive" companies use this asymmetrical conversations behind closed doors to push employees to overpromise and therefore under-deliver.
It's also very easy to manipulate employees into feeling guilty or develop impostor syndrome.
