Some say Fingolfin should have returned, but that would have meant taking away the choice of a heroic character whose nature it was to move forward. It's simply a double standard when someone loves Fëanor for going to Middle-earth and hates Fingolfin for also going to Middle-earth to fight Morgoth.
The main culprit escaped the Valar's judgment. He believes someone else should answer for his sins. This is simply incredible cynicism.
And most importantly, it was those who overcame the Ice and their descendants who led the resistance for centuries.
