People rarely want to admit they were wrong. They were wrong to choose the manufacturer or carrier when they bought the phone with this. But they didn't choose the spyware/analytics software vendor, therefore they're not wrong and you're not attacking their intelligence and choice making by putting the blame on Carrier IQ.

People gave up their privacy on the web (hey, you don't get mad at Google for sites having Google Analytics tracking code all over the web do you), now it'll slowly transfer to other platforms.
