No apathy and convenience, the economic benefit etc.. seem too encapsulate it, not any thoughtful restraint. Judaism particularly in its early formation was quite tribal in its moral perspectives, and wasn't all that concerned with the welfare or treatment of others outside their tribe. Even jewish slaves were treated better than non-jewish slaves, etc....
