Think of the idea as a multiplier for how well you execute on ideas.
if you idea sucks, it's a zero, and no matter how well you execute, you arent going to end up with a successful product.
If you have a great idea, let's say it's a 1, your execution is poor, you don't fully realize the potential of the idea.
The problem is that you don't know whether the idea is good until you execute it (since the end result is a zero until you do something). And while you can weed out some really bad ideas by executing them a little bit, it's a lot of investment to determine if an idea is actually no good or you just haven't worked on it hard enough.
There are so many ideas out there, it would just be too much work for people to start working on every idea they've heard to see if there is something to it. Plus, people are usually biased in that they have their own ideas they are interested in executing on, and so yours aren't as attractive since they haven't thought about them as much as you have
