Yeah. Definitely a part of it. Therapists aren't infallible. If people are actively trying to deceive them in order to achieve an outcome, it's not always on the therapist. Sometimes they're really, really good at it.

Absolutely! Automatically writing people off isn't a great strategy, especially for therapy.

Admitting that bad patients exist doesn't automatically erase the shitty experiences that other people have.

How are you going to compel people to conform to the therapy?

You can drag a horse to water. You can't make it drink.

there are definitely well meaning people with bad therapists

this does not mean that bad patients don't also exist

Lying about yourself, missing appointments, not sticking to treatments, general contempt for the process while trying to go through it.

Lots of ways someone can poison their own well.
