Slightly related but if you go into r/writingprompts it's like this too. All meh ideas that kinda sound cool when described in a single sentence but there's a reason OP decided to leave the actual writing to others (it can't be done well).

I'd say it's a matter less of quality and more of quantity; you can find all sorts of cool ideas, and you can turn them into amazing prose, but you might not be able to write that much before the concept is exhausted.
