However, the band are finished. It’s long been that way and quite understandably so. There’s never been any mention from Mike or Adam on working together or separately in music again. To criticise someone for being ‘lazy’ because you’re used to his former band’s previous output arriving on cue (which, frankly, is bizarre given their notoriously non-conformist schedule) is at best entitled, at worst moronic. The surviving members can do what the hell they want. Why be frustrated over something that doesn’t exist? If Adam promised you a further project and then didn’t deliver, I might understand - but even then I’d accept that it’s his decision. I’d also consider there’s probably more going on in his life than trying to appease dissatisfied fans after a lifetime’s work, or simply no desire to do so.

Lazy isn't a word I would have used if I thought about it for a long time. By the same token, neither is entitled. Both are opinions that label others without foundation, and subjective. I agree absolutely that it's all valid discussion, and opinions make the board go round.
Editing this post to mention that I am not the person who used the term lazy or entitled, just offering my opinion on their use by others.
