I think that's a little unfair in the representation of this problem (I won't comment if this *is* an overall trend). I think there has been a significant push recently to break from "traditions" that are holding things back. If something doesn't work *by design* then coming up with an alternative way of working and deprecating the old way seems like a perfect way of driving progress IMO. The "I can't be bothered to fix things properly" could easily be applied to the current status quo, which has a carefully ordered sequence of otherwise parallelisable tasks and a careful placement of certain key files, just because no one can "be bothered" to address the underlying design issues. I guess it's likely just a matter of perspective/opinion as to which philosophy "can't be bothered".
