Actually, early on, they said that it was NASA that wanted them delayed for this, but that changed. SpaceX has a long history of doing this. Do not get me wrong. I am a big supporter of SpaceX (in fact, private space). And support the fact that SpaceX does more to get the word out then any other space group/company out there (which is needed).
However, that does not mean that SpaceX does it 100% right. Whenever they have delays, they like to put all the blame on NASA or others.

I did not hear them blame anyone, they simply have delayed the flight, that is pretty normal for this business, and especially for a first attempt.

Sigh.
Better safe than sorry, BUT ….
What this really shows is that SpaceX likes to blame NASA and others for their delays, when they are not really ready.
