While warlock does not have stat requirement suggesting that invocations does not needs any sort of understanding: with only ones as stats you could use EB and the invocations just fine.
Also lazyness is not the same thing as ease.
There is things that are easy to do that are not lazy at all because it takes long amounts of time.
warlocks must adhere to all adventurer rules too. mainly they endlessly practice their craft during downtime and must train everyday or their skills will wane.

ranged attack rolls dont happen magically. only adventurer level of practice and training can use range attack rolls as good as the stat blocks says.

read bard description. they gain magic through performing vocally. the difference between a commoner and a bard is just music. charisma is just an indication of how strong the bards personality is.
