Pygmalion is a myth and I'm not sure he's getting a pass so much as it is a case of people not really knowing that myth or viewing it in the same way as a real man falling in love with his own creation. I'm also not sure that more contemporary examples of men falling in love with their creation is meeting with approval.

yeah, I mean...despite it being literally "man falls in love with statue he creates" (I couldn't remember at first lol I looked it up) it's a greek myth and in spite of myths and literature being good ways to teach us things so we don't have to suffer through experiencing themselves? there are no gods to tap our novels or paintings or statues and make the characters real people, so how we handle our infatuations with our own creations is beyond the scope of the myth. if it has anything to say it's that the originator of the myth fully understood that sometimes we creatives get so caught up in our creation that we wish it was real, and that's something common to the human condition for thousands of years. that's it. the rest is fiction on par with human beings being thrown into the sky to become constellations.
