Do you not deem it possible for God to make creatures than can choose between accepting Him, and rejecting Him? If not, then of course you would think that God is responsible, because those creatures would just be robots, nay, DIRT OR CLAY, doing what God made them to do. But if the opposite...

Yes. That is an entirely separate matter from God being the sole provider of salvation. It's not one pie. It's two.
