I wasn't defending the practice -- quite the contrary, that's why I chose a loaded term like "laziness." No I was just explaining what I thought the motivator for the action was.

I find that Tech Industry folks are often worse about such things, you have the mental laziness added to a nice dose of "not our idea" and you get even less imagination bubbling out.

At the same time, I also agree that it shouldn't be this way, "tech" folks and "journalists" really ought to be amongst the more critical thinkers on such matters, it's just that they usually aren't
