Concerns about audiences inadvertently taking the wrong lesson away from a film that refuses to make things “easy” for them are perfectly valid (to be clear, all of the various pundits’ concerns are perfectly valid- as concerns). But for me it comes down to this: It’s wrong to punish a movie for something an audience member might wrongly infer from it, and it’s also wrong to accuse a movie of promoting something when it does exactly the opposite right there on screen.
