Imagine if your lazy attitude was in place 200-250 years ago
in the age of sail where very large vessels plied the seas and
the ports without the hint of an engine on board. Did freight
and passengers not get delivered before the age of steam
boats?

Yes. Arrival times could be within weeks, sometimes months, and many
boats didn't arrive at all, and today, make popular diving atractions.

So? What does that mean other than sometimes pure sailboats foundered. That
most certainly does not belie the fact that motorboats also founder!
