It is a trope, especially in American and and by extension libertarian circles promoted by the US groups around the world.
Personal responsibility is just one variable in this equation and a weak one at that.
What do all developed countries have in common? A large, well run (in comparison to developing countries) government and an active civil society that operates at scale, through various collective actions (voting, protests, etc).
Personal responsibility is maybe #5 on this list and is the number one thing being peddled by companies whose business interests are under attack.
Look up Ralph Nader and auto companies. Whistleblowers in tobacco companies and tobacco companies. Etc, etc.
