So if someone who can't drive, finds a car with the keys in it, and starts driving it, and causes an accident, who do you blame?

And do you have any reason at all to believe the backend people didn't know? They wrote a fair amount of code and infrastructure, so they cannot have been blank slates.

The people who hired the person who can't drive and gave them a job as a driver.

Well, either they knew and wanted to implement proper auth and were prevented from doing it, or they knew and couldn't be bothered, or they didn't know that their backend system wasn't properly locked down and were too incompetent to have a clue.
