Were the plagues fair to the Egyptians?

I think that the plagues weren't fair to the Egyptians. If it were up to them, they would've let the Hebrews go, but it was Pharaoh who angered God by keeping them enslaved. Because of him, the entire land of Egypt had to suffer the wrath of God, even though the Egyptian citizens had done nothing wrong. But, there is another side to the arguement. God probably didn't have any beef with the Egyptians, but he just wanted to prove that he was the most powerful force in the universe, so he sent a series of phenomenons that can't be explained. In any case, it worked, and the Hebrews made it out of slavery.
