Yes at the very end, everything went to shit. But people were going for his head for years before then. He wanted to leave before he did, but the owners asked him to stay on a bit longer.

People were desperate for a league title and didn’t realize it was never going to happen with our level of spending. So they kept blaming Wenger and he always took the heat and refused to ever demand backing from the ownership.
Wenger did make a bunch of blunders in the market but players like Ozil and Sanchez only came Becuase of him, and he dragged utter dross to top4 year after year.
Its hard to understand that period without having been there for the previous success as well, and the weight of expectation that set in
You implicitly admit that Raya is an upgrade and then judge that it’s “not worth it”. I don’t think Arteta and co are looking at it like that. They think even a small upgrade on Ramsdale is enough to warrant making the move for Raya. Or they disagree with you and think it’s a big ugprade.
I think people are far too emotional about Ramsdale, mostly because he’s a funny kind of bloke who loves to shithouse with the other teams fans. There wasn’t this level of sadness when it became clear that Leno was being shoved out.
My guess is its a funny way of saying sorry, some inside joke
