Actually, I think it's more that the writers utterly didn't get why the fans might hold it against Sam that he abandoned Dean the way he did. Like they got annoyed that the fans still wanted answers, while as far as they were concerned, they'd already given an answer. It's why I loved Bobby finally calling Sam on it. Would have been better if Sam had actually given some kind of answer, true, but the more seasons pass, the more I'm starting to think that Carver just doesn't see how badly he's been writing Sam. It's like he's pulled between writing Sam the way that Sam haters see him, and wanting to tell everyone how great Sam is as if to make up for how he writes him.
On one hand, he keeps having characters go on about how great Sam is, how much sacrifices he makes and so on, and on the other hand, they have Sam pretty much acting like an asshole
I also didn't get why they kept wasting time on the Amelia flashbacks that never went anywhere, while instantly dropping the far more interesting Dean flashbacks. But then Carver, imo doesn't really seem to care for Dean or Dean's viewpoint all that much.
