Because human social competence does not fit as something evolution and natural selection can deal with. We still don't live in a world where society comes first, which is something which is more happening in Asia. I don't think the quote "evil prevails where good men fail to act" is always true, but there is no formula for success, there is only domination. You don't become a leader because you know how to make the world a better place, you become a leader because people trust you how to lead, and leading is about making choices and decisions. Leaders did not invent technologies, but they were important into making them viable in business terms, which is as much important. But nobody should forget true inventors are not as much valued as good leaders. A good leaders will be a leader who has a minimal technological knowledge, but also understand its compromise. For example, Tesla would not be viable without introducing the high end tesla roadster, which is a classical business model inventors will have a hard time dealing with.
