Verbatim quote from the article. What do you think it means?

And the budget was a curse placed on him by a witch?
The man can’t be intrinsic to the show, and “part of its DNA,” and also absolved of the concrete reasons it got the usual Netflix treatment of two seasons and stone dead.

What do you mean? The budget is what it takes to make the show. It costs what it costs and the outcome is the show you all love. It’s David fucking Fincher and he is legendary, Netflix knows it going into the deal and of course it’s gonna cost them, as it should.
Of course he can, for the exact reason you stated, it’s the Netflix usual schtick and MO. I’m sure Fincher’s scheduling, fees etc are also a factor in the 3rd season not getting made, but I find it unreasonable to pin it all on Fincher.
Bottom line is, if Netflix wanted it made, they will find a way to get it made. The quote from Fincher suggested otherwise.

Responsibility doesn’t mean ‘only the good parts.’ The man made a show that cost a lot, for a tightfisted company that hands out third seasons approximately never, and delivered an incomplete story in two seasons. Who else on the face of god’s green earth is at fault for fans expecting a third season they definitely won’t get?
