Because He already knows the whole story, as in most other scenarios, with God, idleness is not always as it appears on the surface. Sometimes it's the work of the devil in those who withhold, having their foot in other's backs, refusing to even offer (oppression and/or vengeance); yet quick to accuse of laziness. God likewise knows who's misusing His Word to lie about whether or not they have to give (Acts 3:6).
MATTHEW 20:1-16 (NKJV)
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
1) “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2) Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3) And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4) and said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. 5) Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6) And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’ 7) They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’
BUT GOD being no respecter of man, and knowing that some people will do anything to be first, God has His own way of leveling the playing field.
8) “So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’ 9) And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. 10) But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. 11) And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, 12) saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’ 13) But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14) Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. 15) Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’ 16) So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”
God's doesn’t operate according to man's rules; He does whatever pleases Him with that which belongs to Him: Psalms 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.MATTHEW 20:1-16 (NKJV)

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
God exalts the lowly.
It's not always good to rush to be first.
It's not always good to rush to be first.

Real slothfulness is having access to the truth right in your hand but refusing to even Google it (i.e. lift the fork to your mouth).
