No, they are not "partly to blame"; they are solely to blame for the lack of an active TOC entry on the navigation menu. No one else is at fault.
Personally, I find no value in an inline active TOC in a single title fiction work, though I do like having a "contents" page, active or not, at the beginning of a short story collection. It provides a list of the titles included. When I want to go to a particular story I use the Go To entry on the menu.
For a single work, rather than collection, I rarely use the TOC though I find value in the Kindle's "chapter" ticks. I occasionally use the 5-way controller to jump forward and back. I also like being able to see if I'm near the end of a chapter or not when deciding whether to put the book down for the night or to read a few more pages.
