I've seen a ton of flak thrown at Sun for the license, but Cooper's name only seems to come up as a source that it was intentional. I've never gotten the impression people blame her.
Of course I haven't read every discussion about it, but I have read quite a few. I think someone would have to both confirm that the incompatibility was intentional and argue it was the correct choice to to get much hate about it.
We haven't read the same flames, then...
