You're trying to say WordPress is to blame for not making server administration, across multiple * nix flavours thougthless.

WordPress has secure defaults and the codex does a good job of providing instructions if you really want to go modifying the default.

There will always be tutorials out there saying

Rookie users will follow these tutorials and then blame WP because they find a whole bunch of malicious scripts show up in their wordpress directory.
