Snow's indirect way of murdering Cora is not on Snow whatsoever. It's like people just wanted Snow to die.

Yes it was on Snow. Completely. Snow made it clear in the previous episode, "The Queen Is Dead" that she wanted to kill Cora in revenge for her mother and Johanna 's deaths. Charming tried to talk her out of it and she refused to listen to him. They had the same argument in "The Miller's Daughter" and again, Snow refused to listen. Snow has even admitted to Emma that her reason for orchestrating Cora's death was out of her desire for revenge.

Orchestrating Cora's murder may have prevented her from become the new "Dark One" and saved Storybrooke, but Snow's reason for committing the deed is a lot more important. She committed the deed out of revenge. She allowed evil into her heart. Snow knows this. She has admitted this. And both Kitsis and Horowitz have made sure that the audience is aware of this.
