I don't think it's so much laziness, so much as there aren't any readily available tools for the average person to create mobi books for Amazon.
You either have Kindlegen, which requires a knowledge of computers (it's a command line program) and HTML (knowing what ncx and opf files are), or you have a plugin for an extremely expensive professional layout program.
Amazon needs to come out with a WYSIWYG editor for Mobi.
I mean, yes, obviously someone could learn HTML and so forth, they'd rather, you know, be writing books.
