If Microsoft's teams are eight years old and can't take any form of criticism, then yes, maybe it might have been a bad decision.
But since Microsoft are professionals you can bet they're swimming in all the critique and suggestions and using it to their advantage to improve the OS.
The only real mistake was on the part of people rushing out to download the 'cool new thing' without any clue what exactly that was because they couldn't wait a day or two to hear people's opinions first. That and WPCentral's articles held the preview a bit too highly, making it out to be more polished and fit for public use than its really meant to be. They certainly made a very committed effort to debunk people's (now justified) concerns about the developer preview.
