rossi now blaming the electronics !!!

You're absolutely right, but Mav's performance at the start of last season is some pretty solid evidence in relation to his ability too.
I am not a Yamaha fan boy but the drop off of both the factory rider's results isn't due to a sudden inability to ride the bikes. There may well have been a few duff choices along the way in terms of development and it would seem that primarily that is with the programming of the electronics and how they dovetail with the mechanical aspects of the factory bike.

As to where Zarco's abilities lie in relation to the chaps on the factory bikes, I don't know. I am just saying that 2 world class riders suddenly dropping off the pace would suggest the bike being the point of commonality, especially when it now appears that there is a difference with the bike under Zarco.

I also accept that some blame lies with the riders in terms of development choices.

Reading through that doesn't suggest that I am a Marc fan, but I am, I promise, I am just trying to be objective.
