I don't think it's a question of "lazy", because for me it's not about saving time. It's about reducing physical clutter.

There's the short-term clutter that forms when I let piles of mail kick around, waiting to be dealt with. If all of that was digital instead, it wouldn't be cluttering up my environment. And I am demonstrably better at processing my digital inbox than my physical mail, because I can do it from any random waiting room or park bench.

And there's the long-term clutter of things that need to be filed away. I would much rather not spend the space. I have already experimented with scanning workflows, and none of them really hit the minimum convenience threshold for me yet.

I wish I could find a good automatic-feeding document scanner that works standalone (no PC), does OCR onboard, automatically handles rotation/sizing/two-sidedness, and pushes the resulting PDFs to the network drive or cloud of your choice. If it exists in a consumer-size device, I haven't found it.
