Marketing-wise, yes. Their label is to be blamed for oversaturating every conceivable market moreso than the band members themselves, I'm sure.
But Chad writes almost 100% of Nickelback's songs, so he's the one to "blame" for the music and lyrics that make the label's marketing schemes possible in the first place.
It started off as rock music. More and more, it has become pop music. Maybe it's no surprise then that true "rock" fans have liked Nickelback less and less over time, while true "pop" fans continue to eat up their increasingly over-produced, uncreative releases like there's limited quantities available or something.
