Hasbro is an American company and has final say, Faust is American, and the production model is American, regardless where most of the animators and voice actors come from. The fact of the matter is (and this has been confirmed by people who worked on the show): Faust, as showrunner, oversaw every aspect of the show, from writing to animation. That she got a writing credit for the pilot and nothing else is traditional; take a look at any American show with a strong showrunner, they're usually only credited with premieres and finales.

As for Luna, well, we'll see. I'll agree with you that taking responsibility for one's actions is important, and blaming the devil is a cop-out. We'll see how that's handled in season 2 (probably as soon as 2x01, from the looks of it).
