Sure, but I'd argue (and perhaps this is just me) in both cases where you either can't say anything or the reasoning is awful, that it's just better to stay silent than to come out with:

"But don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is (unless it's somehow documented and verified), or how it got to be that way (good or bad)"

Now of course, there is some merit to what the rest of his quote says, but people are way more likely to pickup the harsher aspects of what you say (such as what has happened here), and in general this tone tends to go over like a lead balloon.

I've not played Starfield, aside from for 45 minutes because I had the chance to via game pass, so I don't know what to think about the game. I agree that you shouldn't go and spew vitriol at the individual developers making the games (management however... I'll leave that to each person's choice...) because there is a difference between saying a game is horrible, versus saying that a whole team is horrible. But the way this was approached somewhat comes across as "Don't you dare " which I've never liked, and is only likely to make the situation worse.
