I think it's maybe a bit more nuanced, but at the core of it you're right. There's lots of stuff that will never happen unless someone has the initial idea, but that's rarely a refined thing out of the box, bouncing it around finds a better solution. Actually seeing a thing through to realisation and completion needs a focused effort from a group of people.
