Absolutely. Trying to make in-universe justifications for Out-Of-Universe reasonings always ends up tying characters into knots.

Because for all intents and purposes, Bruce didn’t really ‘fail’ him in his time as Robin, that’s from retcons.
Sure, Jason Robin could be rude, but he was still a good kid with a strong sense of justice. The ONLY time you could come off as Jason being a loose cannon was right before DitF where Jason got benched by Bruce for not saving a sadistic rapist who’d gotten off on diplomatic immunity and one of his victims killed herself (and Jason had been the one to find her body).
The idea of Jason being an asshole his whole stint as Robin didn’t come until DitF where Starlin deliberately wrote him that way to sway the poll voters to kill him off. But even despite that, Starlin still gave Jason a respectful and heroic death trying to protect his mother who’d just handed him to Joker and been outside taking a smoke while her own son was being beat to death.
A death that would be misremembered as cocky arrogant Jason trying to fight Joker on his own and getting what he deserved, and other characters shitting on Jason to gas up Tim when he came around.
If he really was a bad Robin from Day 1, then that makes Bruce a shitty Batman and a shittier parent to have ever made Jason a Robin without bothering to make sure that he met the proper standards. The rewriting of Jason Robin’s actions/history via flashbacks only succeed at making Batman look negligent.
