I don't think it is laziness personally. I think it is to take advantage of the uneducated customer: a fool and his/her money are soon parted per se. If the customer never inquires about the serial, then there is nothing to stop the seller from selling them the oldest similar looking model in the pictures. Like I said, I am paranoid though and am cynical about human nature...
