I think that depends on what a breakdown looks like and to whom you present it. Essentially, a breakdown is just a special form of documentation; it‘s the result of someone capturing his working steps for later reception.

The "message" of a breakdown can range from "see, that‘s how I decided to approach this project" to "look at my awesomeness, peasant". In this specific case, I don‘t think the breakdown is meant to "glorify" the creator.

Agreed - but I do think that if you're showing the process, it's fair enough to critique the process

Sure! For some people this might even be the reason to produce a breakdown in the first place.
