Multi disk games that support only one drive

This topic might be covered already before but lets recap. Some of the cool games I play (and would like to play if got time) are SOTB3 and Moonstone. The thing I don't understand is that SOTB3 was released in 1992 and Moonstone in 1991. Didn't the developers of both of those rather large games understand how to code support to multiple disk drives or do I just have badly cracked games? It's mind boggling if the developers didn't put the effort to write few lines of code to check if the disk is in DF0 or DF1. Let alone do a HD installer which is probably not that much extra effort. It wasn't like Amiga 500 was just released and everything was new and mystified. Everyone had second disk drive in 1991-92 and everybody hated disk swapping. So is it the crack or laziness of developers?

It is the laziness of developers.

It is the same with 1 button joysticks.

Yeah, I thought so too. As a developer myself, shame on them
