To a certain extent yes. To the extent of getting them to their destination safely, it is the airline's responsibility.

You're free to get off at any stop right? You can't be trapped on all legs if you don't want to.

Have no clue. I don't know the rules if its a flight where you don't leave the plane.

I guess the solution is for the passenger to notify the airline that he/she is not boarding the next flight.
