You know, really, there is blame enough to go around for all of them: Miriel choosing to stay dead rather than return, Finwe for wanting more when he was still married technically, and Indis for wanting someone who already had a commitment, and the Valar for making their choices "all or nothing".
But think how new this all is to all of them. No Elf before Miriel had ever died to stay dead; it threw everything out of whack.
And I'm sure a lot of Finwe's favoritism to Feanor was guilt for remarrying and pity because he had lost his mother.
But, yeah, all of them do seem a little selfish. Still, the punishment seemed a lot harder than the offeses.
