I agree that almost all of the npcs are lazy and try to get help for even the most mundane of tasks. "Fetch my axe!" "Kill that swamp monster!". However if they were not lazy, then we would not have any quests to solve. It would be kind of cool if when you received the quest from the NPC that a summon spell for that NPC dropped next to the NPC so that you could take them along with you on the quest without having to change your party. This would not apply of course for hireable characters that hand out quests.
