Actually, figures should be checked during the reviewing process. It's not an excuse.
Yea, "should be", but as said, if it's not literally directly relevant even while being in the paper, it might get skipped. Lazy? Sure. Still understandable.
A more apt coding analogy might be code reviewing unit tests. Why dig in to the unit tests if they're passing and it seems to work already? Lazy? Yes. Though it happens far more than most non-anonymous devs would care to admit!
No, "should be" as in, it must be reviewed but can be skipped if there's a concern like revealing the author identity in a double-blind process.
