Any language that doesn't acknowledge programmer laziness is faulty. All programmers will have times where they do only what is easiest to do right then. Sometimes you just need to get the happy path working, damn everything else.

Good languages account for this, and make the best choice the easiest choice whenever possible. If the best choice is twice as much work, there will be a lot times when the language encourages the programmer to do something else. I don't consider this a fault on the part of the programmer, I consider a fault on the part of the language.

I bet this generalization is wrong

All generalizations are wrong. Including this one.
