Yeah, it is obviously the owners fault for not checking blog posts and tweets about the faulty product.
I keep jumper cables in my car because the electrical system drains the battery (and I'm too cheap to get a new car). I do so because I know it will need it eventually. How many times will the alarm clock "bug" have to bite before people start taking precautions.
Besides, a more accurate analogy would be if every night, you jumpstarted your car to make sure the cables work.
