Tbf I enjoy it. Dumb translator notes are deeply unprofessional, and therefore a sign that they're being done for the enjoyment of it. They're bad but they're kinda cozy in their own way.
That's probably partly why they do it.
In this instance though, if the original author had just wanted to say bad, they would have put {悪い|warui}. {やばい|yabai} is colloquial/slang and has some different meanings:
If anything what's lazy is not the untranslated word, but the TN just saying "bad"
