Yeah, pretty much, actually. If I've checked off a box that says "don't let this happen" and then it happens? Can't really say I blame anyone but the device maker.
Since you clearly can't trust app developers or websites to not try and exploit your information, you HAVE to trust your device to do what it says. The fact that this was exposed by the standard +1 button doesn't exactly mean it was difficult to do. It wasn't some 0-day exploit that they're using, it's a failure of the browser.
