What some players see as unnecessary effort can be bread and butter for someone else. If someone else is enthusiastic about character backgrounds, consider working with them to develop your own. If a player has a flair for plotting or bad guy motivations, recruit them to help craft an adventure (of course twisting things just enough so they don't know exactly what will happen). Use the skills of players who like doing certain things to expand everyone's fun.
