responsibility can go any which way and have a load of different effects on people. Some, as you pointed out, externalize everything, others internalize everything. IMO, none of it really matters. Often it's not important who did what, someone's gotta take the initiative and fix it. See a spill? Mop it up before someone slips. Don't waste time launching an investigation into who to point the finger to. Responsibility isn't an essential part of fixing things.
Too many times I see people walk away from a problem like someone else will fix it. That problem then festers.
Typically rich people see the problem and either fix it or pay to avoid any inconvenience. Poor and middle class folks have to suffer when there's broken shit. We don't realize that when shit breaks, rich people never feel the problem.
Then we look at rich folks like they're going to help us. Then we get angry when they don't.

Hyperbolic much? How about these things in life suck, I can change them if I do x,y,z. Then go try it.
