It's like saying there are so many great novels out there that we have never seen because the authors can't write for shit.

Not "great novels" but great "great world building". I've seen some absolute bangers out there where the concepts, characters and even the overall plot blew my mind away. However, the authors couldn't write decent dialogues or a coherent chapter of their life depended on it. So, most people wouldn't be exposed to their ideas.
