It seems more like the poster was complaining that actually following through was hard and a pain in the ass, therefore the game is rigged.

Really it’s just they’re used to someone else doing all the hard work and don’t want to shell out or expend effort for when something doesn’t go smoothly.

Having dealt with contractors and others who decided doing what they were supposed too was clearly too hard (and then making them do it or deal with the consequences), it’s just how life is. Some people will make you make them, because most people are too busy or distracted to do it, and they usually get off Scott free.

It sucks, but it is what it is.

I don't know what you think you're adding to the conversation here. The point of the auto insurance system as mandated by governments, including the "required liability" part, is to rise a bit above (or a "smidge above" as you might say) this folksy "it is what it is" nihilism.

If no one pushes the button that is provided to do anything about it, what do they expect to happen?

The original comment seemed to be complaining that no one was pushing the button for them, and the other side wasn’t just doing something without them pushing the button.

Well duh.
