More like laziness. They probably only allow something like:

  ^[a-z0-9_.]+@(?:[a-z0-9-]+\.)+\.[a-z0-9]+$

In my experience it's been ignorance rather than laziness. I suppose you could argue that the root cause of the ignorance is laziness. If someone is writing a validator, they probably ought to check what constitutes valid input.
