"Some people", exactly. Not all. And, these days,
I rather suspect, fewer and fewer. Personally, I rarely
cook anything from scratch, fancy or otherwise.

Yes I am lazy also, but a lot of people cook properly.

But **** all are actually stupid enough to boil everything to death
anymore.

Some stuff has to be boiled, marmalade doesn't set unless
you boil it for a while, but there isnt much like that anymore.

Food has changed so it doesn't get boiled?!?

Yep. Most use frozen veg heated in the microwave now instead of boiling
fresh veg to death on the stove anymore.
Even with potatoes, anyone with even half a clue cooks them
in the microwave under a cover instead of boiling them to death on the
stove anymore.
Ditto with stuff like cabbage.

Ditto with rice, works much better done in the
microwave than boiling it to death on the stove.
