I think the problem is much rather that for anyone not poor late fees just don’t matter in any way financially. They do not cut into any basic needs, they don’t even matter in the grand scheme of things.
The thing with being poor is that any additional expense will mean you have to make difficult trade-offs. Which is to say that even if someone who is not poor is much more likely to be late to return a book the late fees just don’t matter to that person, while they do matter for someone who is poor.

I'm not sure why you thought I felt otherwise. Rather, I took issue with GP's assertion that if you're poor, you aren't socially responsible. Which is both absurd and offensive.
