Of course Blender is lazy loading as you like to call it. Why load features the user is not using atm? The base of the program is just way better than lets say Photoshop.

Ever checked an online Photo editor? (http://pixlr.com/editor/ for example after a quick Google). Open the page and there it is: your interface ready to use.

To clarify, "lazy" isn't a pejorative in this case. It's just the technical term for deferring work until it needs to be done. "Eager" would be the term for doing everything right away.
