Pretty much this. There's nothing inherently unreliable about the design, just manufacturers that make unreliable weapons.
I'm sure Glock 17 or Sig 226 design would have a questionable reputation for reliability too if suddenly a few dozen manufacturers hit the scene with an exact clone, but it wouldn't make the design a bad one.
