Read the book "Thinking, fast and slow." We are genetically programmed (as are all living things) to conserve energy and make things easier for ourselves. I guess the author could more accurately replace "lazy" with "make things easier" and be more accurate. It drives everything we do as human beings, from politics (read Frederic Bastiat's works) to everyday lives (driving instead of walking to work, choosing to type rather than write a note).
It's the people who realize "this could be done more easily" that innovate. I guess lazy is just a simpler way of saying it.
