I understand how you might see it that way but I don't think I ever did. To me, it's another example of Lizzie understanding Darcy's circumstances in a way other's didn't or wouldn't, which was presumably part of why he was attracted to her. She got right away how annoying it must be to be surrounded by sycophants. She misinterpreted his reactions to those circumstances in the beginning (hence the story), but she "got" the situation.
