If a site is using a third-party analytics site that brings in malware, they can stop bringing in that analytics script.

Yes, exactly! I'm saying the surface area to audit is much bigger than any particular or group of websites. All websites have problems like this that are out of their hands. What if all 3rd-party script vendors are like this (spoiler: they are)?

The blame game isn't going to solve this. Blaming it entirely on the website owners/maintainers is only treating the symptoms instead of the disease.
