Lucky for us, most criminals are lazy.

I don't think this comes from them being lazy. I think this comes from them not being aware of (1) the defense; and (2) the mitigation. It's an example of security through obscurity.

Or even if they know about the defense and the mitigation, it is additional work. In my work in the formal economy I rarely get to ship the technically best and most complete solution but instead a compromise 'MVP' that'll receive more work only if the problem proves to demand it. I expect the same holds true in the informal economy.
