No, it's Microsoft's programmer(s) that were dumb enough to allow consumer versions to (?) switch to dev console mode which leads to you bricking.

Also this is like a week old now. I'm surprised it even managed to catch on to where people have to say don't do it.

Considering it's a computer a 'developer console' doesn't make much sense.

These are the same types of people who make it necessary to have warning labels on things.
