In my experience the main cause isn't laziness or lack of pride, it's more that most people in some hard to define way just don't have the right mind set. There's something about the way a good programmer's mind works that is necessary, and most people (including those who have studied programming at degree level and even, sadly, a significant number who have done it professionally) just don't have that way of thinking.
