It is rarely one simple attribute that makes someone ‘lazy’. It is a side effect.
Trauma, lack of self care, delusions, anxiety, demotivation, abuse, exhaustion, medical issues, serious mental health issues, etc.
Same with hoarding. Same with anger issues/road rage, same with wife beaters, same with con artists, same with murders.
These all interrelate to each other (often reinforcing or contributing to starting new ones too!) and while most functioning people are able to identify the factors causing dysregulation into a non-functioning or pathologically functioning state and address them before they become a real problem, anyone can end up there with the right set of stimuli and circumstances.
For some it requires truly exceptional inputs (to the point it’s nigh impossible - see James Bond Stockdale) for others it comes naturally due to a very unlucky set of genetic factors or how they were raised (or both).
If you decide to choose pity, avoidance, anger, retribution, or something else (understanding and self-regulation in a way that helps you?) is up to you.
Sometimes there is no ‘good’ response, which is why the legal system exists the way it does, right of self defense exists in most places, property rights exist in the way they do in most places to contain/conpartmentalize things, etc.
