Sure, endpoints can be lazy and irresponsible too - and often are! They can also be actively malicious while middleboxes usually aren't. But the endpoints can be (comparably) easily replaced or fixed. Middleboxes can't. And that's why there's so much bad feelings towards them: we all can see a problem that's easily fixed but we can't fix it. That's frustrating.
