Its not laziness. It is the best attempt to represent what is on the ground. If the road isn't distorted to go around the roundabout on the ground, why should we map it that way? If all there is on the ground is a concrete within the width of the road, a mini-roundabout offers the best way OSM has to represent that. And (gets on soapbox) there is no global OSM definition for anything. Map features only offers a set of recommendations voted on by 6 1/2 people if we are lucky, all of whom have probably never seen an Australian mini-roundabout. How things are mapped is reflected by how mappers map them.
