In an extreme sense, yes. If the free stuff was given for a prolonged period of time with the expectation that it would continue indefinitely.

In modern terms, it's enabling others' pathological dependency on your free stuff.

The same way a normal parent would teach their child to become self sufficient instead of providing for them for their first 30 years of life and then tell them to figure out how to live after being used to not working.

I mean, it's pretty sad but there are examples of these things happening, and I definitely wouldn't say the parent is blameless for allowing this to happen.
