Yeah, Walt is fully responsible. The bourgeois couple are revealed to not even be that bad. The idea that they stole from him is walt's delusion. He left because of his inferiority complex (which he developed at a very young age).
Honestly, the show is closer to being a Greek tragedy. Many people take it to be a critique of capitalism because of the background context and world models we as an audience bring to the show.
In fact, the show goes out of its way to show that every moment in time, Walt has an out that he refuses to use because of pride. The show itself also analyses the role of the state or big business in the crime or poverty happening only tangentially and gives very little screen time to it.
By the chronology of the show, no. It would have been infinitely easier for Walt to have swallowed his pride and taken money from gretchen, or even borrowed from hank.
Him becoming a drug lord was always about his own personal pride and sense of worth. It made him feel alive and powerful.
