Absolutely. I also believe that Copilot is getting more flak than appropriate at the moment.

To rephrase my comment above: I don't want to blame the team behind Copilot for not getting everything right on the first try. Neither am I in a position to do so, nor would I want to live in a world where smart people aren't allowed to make mistakes.

What irritates me is that there are two possible scenarios here:

1) They knew about potential issues and decided to release it anyway (without at least addressing them verbally). 2) They didn't.

And frankly, I don't know which one I like less. Even though it's still a beta/preview, either option seems to signal a degree of negligence? that feels unnerving given the potential impact of such a system.

That being said, if we do live in scenario 1) than I am certain that better framing could have prevented the PR fallout that we're seeing right now (at least partially). IMHO, GitHub (the platform) is still a great product after all.
