Is it laziness? A skill issue? Did they really just not know how to do it and say "that's good enough"?

3D rotations require quite a bit of MATH, it wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't figure it out and decided it wasn't worth the effort.

These games are meant to be played in 1st person and 3rd person is just an after thought. In this case, yes, that's maybe just laziness or more likely they didn't have time for low priority stuff.
