Selective memory: A disease that effects many

First off, your question is an excellent question coming from a new player.
You must realize that the vast majority of blackjack players are superstitious losers who are fanatic believers in the religion of the blackjack loser, The Sacred Flow of the All Knowing Cards. Besides the math, if their beliefs had any real value, every single casino would be losing tons of money on their blackjack tables but we know the opposite is true.
What happens is cringe at the moment of a wrong play or not, if the play lands up resulting in a win for other players or makes no difference, it is immediately forgotten. When the players lose, hindsight takes command and these guys are re-creating the hand busy figuring out what would have happened if it had been played differently.
As you learn more about blackjack you will find that the same players who complain about wrong play ruining the Sacred Flow, are guys who constantly make wrong plays because they do not know basic strategy perfectly. You will do things like splitting 9,9 vs 2-9 except 7, or your play on A,7 where you double vs 3-6 and hit vs 9,10,A and you will get moans and complaints from these players but you are just playing basic strategy perfectly.
Finally, and perhaps the most important answer (in my opinion for whatever it is worth) is that blackjack is not a team sport. Yes, you are all playing against the dealer but if you are not pooling your bankrolls, playing as a team, you will find that none of the other players will cover your loses and do not expect you to split your wins with you. Blackjack is not a team game!!!
