As rational as it may seem to say that they SHOULD be responsible it just isn't the reality of the situation and trying to change that is just pissing into the wind.

Yep I agree on most of that. Legally, I would say they are clearly second to the dealerships in liability. But legal obligation is also different than ethical. And forcing some owners to do a recall through their dealerships without going to bat for them when those recalls blew up owners' engines was a shitty thing to do.
