I find that the pictures of the CD covers can be a help as I stalk the
stacks of Tower records looking for something "good."  "Fancy graphics"
can certainly be a more important source of information, to some people,
than print.  However, I would hardly label anyone as lazy who is committed
to understanding the marvels of music.
