This. So much this. Neither mid nor jungle is entitled to blue. Blue (as well as every other resource) should be distributed based upon what's best for the team.
That being said, I understand what the OP is talking about. Sometimes you get mids who are doing quite poorly and have given up 1 or 2 blues to enemy mid/jungler already and start whining about not getting more. That would be an instance were giving mid blue is not best for the team.
I get your point that blue isn't any specific person, and my opinions may be biased as I am a jungle main, but the buffs are the junglers. And no matter if the mid lane is losing or winning, ultimately it's up to the jungler weather or not they want to give up blue/red buff.
I also get that it is an un-written rule that if mid is winning, give em blue. As a jungle main I do give mid blue if they're winning, and if they do not use mana (aka akali, or zed just to name 2) I may give it to top or bot depending on what side of the map, and how well either lane is doing.
But realise a lot of HIGHLY BLUE RELIANT (Vi, ww early game, to name 2 again) junglers will need at least the first 2 blues, because it takes about to the 7 and a half minute mark to get your first couple full items.
Not trying to self advertise or anything but if anyone needs jungling help message me
