Laziness ain't in it. Many multiple subjects may be understood as a single thing. We say three boxes of cashew nuts is enough. The true subject of the sentence is a certain quantity of cashews, not the number of boxes it comes in.

You might better ask, Why do so many people insist on pluralizing a properly singular verb before a plural predicate nominative, saying for example What we need are more cashews instead of What we need is more cashews.

Using "are" can sometimes be more effortful and less efficient than using "is," especially in informal conversations or quick messages. This can lead to a more relaxed approach to grammar and language use. Additionally, some people may not see a significant difference in meaning between using "is" and "are" when discussing multiple objects.

Who needed slaves?

If you are talking about the famous Egyptian slaves, it has been proved that they were not slaves but free people.

These people took people as slaves to do the work for them. Solve your question?
