It seems that people have gotten more in touch with their feelings in the past several years. This makes everything personal, even when it isn't. If someone is fired because they are doing an inadequate job, that has nothing to do with the person doing the firing.
There are situations where administration does drop the ball and examples have been mentioned in this thread (poor decision-making during interviews, lack of training/materials, personality clashes, etc).
I think it's a case by case situation which needs to be looked at it objectively.

They're still in the industry, and they all think that I'm a good guy that just wanted to help them. In reality, they were in my way.

This has stuck with me all day. I find this very manipulative and a negative use of power. The fact that you helped them get a job is nice. What I see as a problem is that you feel you have entitlement about doing them a 'favor'. They might think you're a nice guy, but it's under false pretenses.
I would prefer to be told straight out why I was being let go or moved to a different position so there would be an opportunity for self-improvement. I don't see it as a favor to pass people along without any idea that they were incompetent.
