In my opinion this mentality is more helpful than spamming bug tracker with "YOU SUCK FOR NOT FIXING THIS!!111eleven!" which seems especially common with Android's bugs. I even assume that such comments actually hamper fixing of respective bugs.
No, the problem is google doesn't make enough money off android to devote more resources to the project. Droid has more technical issues (supporting more platforms) than iPhone but generates less profit. That formula inevitably leads to less development resources and a worse product.
