While your suggestion appears logical, I would suggest that there are 
various levels of "feeling responsible" that different people have. 
It's a bit like "owning responsibility to see needful things happen" vs 
"I'm here for the paycheck".

While I personally have much more respect for the former practice, I 
will admit it's a 2-way street, and while some companies value the 
former, others act in ways that justify the latter.
