There are certainly those, but not sure it is accurate to generalize to mods as a whole.

There are powermods who "moderate" hundreds of subreddits. This is not an exaggeration. Hundreds.

When questioned, they invariably say that they "just watch the incoming queue" or something, and the other mods "do all the work". While likely true in the literal sense (again, hundreds), such answers of course completely evade of the question.
