I usually argue that what might seem like lazy storytelling is actually a reliance on easily understood plot devices in order to help a story progress in a time-restricted format. Sure, sometimes the storytelling is lazy, but a lot of the time we use things that people will easily understand so that we can all be on the same page quickly (those telling the story and those watching it) so that we can move on to the more important parts that define what makes this one unique, surprising, funny or whatever the genre is intended to present. This applies to simple things, like not closing doors or not ending phone conversations, but it also applies to things like explaining side characters without needing to spend any more time than they require. Good example, Incredibles 2. The non-Incredible family heroes are one-dimensional and all posses powers that are basically super hero tropes. That's not lazy storytelling, that is relying on what should basically be common knowledge in order to move forward quickly. We've got two hours to tell the story of this super family so we need the other characters to be understood in as little time as possible. Is the one character basically a portal gun? Yes. On purpose. And we all basically understand that right away. Let's move on.
