Sure, an unrealised idea is next to worthless.
The real pain is making a decision and expending resources on your challenging/risky idea. There's very little appetite for the responsibility and risk that come with big ideas (in a BigCo).
Got the ability to think up new ideas, sell them within an organisation, and get them executed (hello 'doer') in a way that provides value to that organisation? You're gold, and worth way more than the 'doer'.

No one can "have" this ability because it's transient. Unless you control the entire corporation (in which case you don't need to influence anyone else anyway), there is always someone who can come in and break your previously-perfect ability to "sell" your ideas inside the org. You're claiming that artful politicians (or, more blatantly, "good bullshit artists") are more valuable than skilled engineers. I don't believe that.
