Yeah we have examples of writers all but straight up saying "here's how to interpret this" to their audience, in the work, and people still interpret it wrong. Basically all art is subject to this. There are neoliberal Disco Elysium fans who Stan the Moralintern.
As The Doobie Brothers said, "what a fool believes, he sees, no wise man has the power to reason him away".
Sure, at the eleventh hour the story supposedly subverts its own premise
That was one thing that about an otherwise fun movie (I know, I know, I'll see myself to the gulag) that didn't sit well with me. Scott acknowledges that he's been a self centered git but does nothing to make amends and everyone is just like "well guess that's the most maturity we're legally allowed to expect from a white dude in his 20's" and thus the main conflict is magically fixed.
As it is I couldn't make it through the completely charmless writing and delivery in the first episode of the anime so maybe the movie wouldn't hold up if I were to watch it again.
Original comic was a lot clearer that Scott's actually kinda an asshole and there's much more character growth on his part. Movie ending was too rushed imo

I don't think judging an artistic work by how hard its fanbase or "fanbase" gets it wrong makes for compelling critique of said artistic work

Kind of hard to have in a movie a 6 month sojourn to the Canadian wilderness for self reflection.
