See, I'm not even sure I feel Walt is solely to blame for Tuco, either. Initially, yeah, Walt blackmails him. But Jesse is the one to come to him after that and at the end of Grey Matter, Walt asks him if he wants to cook again.
Walt does push him later, but you know? Jesse is still capable of making the choice not to. He has no trouble laying down the law after they team up again. Walt's flaw is his ego; Jesse's is his need to please his surrogate father figure. That's why Walt dissing his meth bothered him so much.
So yeah, I don't think it's fair that Jesse lays it all on him, but it's a very realistic response just as Mike laying all the problems in S5 is. None of them are reliable narrators.
