On the contrary, I think they'd be most pleased!

You should check the basics before every ride.
Think how your Mrs and your parents would feel if that tyre failed and you ended up under a truck.b
Reduce the risks keep what ever you ride and your gear at the top of the game.

Onus (not anus) is surely on both parties. I'd be miffed too if I was sent a bike with little to no life in the tyres.

Surely sending a bike out on the wear bars is beyond the serviceable life of a hire bike, not to mention the compensation culture we live in.

I did check the tyre before I left, it was fine(ish). When I got to where I was going, I looked at the tyre again, realised it was shagged and rang the hire company. Who promptly sent me a recovery truck.
