100%. yes.

People slam on the breaks for any number of reasons, both valid and invalid.

Failure to leave enough space to stop is 100% your fault.

No, but it is a reason that is illegal, which is the point. If you brake check someone (and they have a dashcam to prove it), you'll be paying the fines and the repairs.
