I believe my husband put it best in the same way he justifies spending more to have the fence rebuilt then doing it himself... He gets paid around $50 an hour or more for what he does. Granted, he couldtake the day off and do the fence and get the labor for free or he could pay some fellow $20 an hour to install it for him. When you look at it in true cost, it's just more effective for him to hire someone else to do it rather than doing it himself and coming out -$30 an hour in the deal. Just something to think about.... Someone who is mass selling 20 poses for $1 a piece... which would take over an hour of work if not closer to 2.... okay, we're up to $20 to have someone else to do it vs $50 to $80 worth of time to do it yourself. Yeah your own labor is free, assuming you don't have a job or have other things to do like chasing a toddler or mowing the lawn (which incidentally isn't cost effective to hire out cause our dog scares off the lawn crews ;) ) .... so long story short (too late), Isn't really laziness, it's just cost effective. 30 people buy the pose set, the person who made them gets back money for their effort, and all the people who purchased it get to get on with their art an hour sooner and effectively save some time=money doing it.
