Part of it I THINK stems from MS not releasing the WP8 sdk to devs before releasing the os, giving them time to learn it. I think this turned a lot of good devs off to the platform entirely and caused other slow adopters to begin working with a platform they weren't familiar enough with and not being able to see some of the issues they were running into beforehand. Thomas Nigro is an oustanding dev (he only developed arguably the best media player on the market) so if even he's running into issues that should speak volumes.
MS didn't make it easy on devs so they should be shouldering some of the blame. In some cases it does have to with larger companies not thinking WP is important enough to be bothered with, but in some cases it has to with devs who won't touch WP with a 10 foot pole and those cases are MS's own fault.
