Other front offices may be in similar situations too, I'm not excusing them, because your point is fair. But the critique against Atkins is fair.

The critique is fine but it doesn't apply to every decision or move they make.
We can agree they are not a good front office and have not had a good offseason and also agree this seems like a good signing.
Bad front offices still make good moves.
So it comes off a bit as "Good move but you still suck!". Which is true.
