You are bang on here, I don't think this is an unpopular opinion.

The passer was definitely in a vulnerable position. I think there should be some onus on the passer here, this isn't all the hitter's fault. He still shouldn't have hit him though. I would consider this a blindside hit, it doesn't look like he knows that guy is coming. Doesn't even brace for the hit.
