Obligation, no. But they seem to have "promised" devices and support for the CM dev team (I may have misunderstood that though.). They got the devices, but not the support. So i think it's fair enough of that guy to call them out on it. Don't promise things you won't keep. At least not to people that you want to keep around. (Whyever they would care about CM...)

In fact, as far as I understood, they do have an obligation, because the (GPL licensed) kernel requires them to release source code for some parts of the system
They've released the stuff their obliged to release under the GPL, that's not the problem. However they also promised to release more, and now apparently have no intention on following up on that promise.
