I think it has to do with “broken” promises. Arthur was told that he’d be king of a new, great kingdom. But it hasn’t happened, largely through Arthur’s own obsession with wanting to fix Excalibur, which in his mind must be mended before he can be king. In reality, Arthur should have been putting in the work of fixing the Kingdom, whole Excalibur or no. Humans, by nature, like to blame other people for their problems. Arthur blames Merlin for having lied to him, when really Arthur is to blame for becoming to myopically focused. It’s nothing to do with magic; it’s simple human nature.
+1 to all of this.
Arthur has become obsessed with fixing Excalibur, and because he hasn’t been able to do so, he’s blaming Merlin for setting him on an impossible path.
