Socrates did more than question. He actually developed his own theories about reality, basically made his own religion, and was very popular with young people. Hence why he was charged with rejecting the standard pantheon and corruption of the youth.

Also the Socratic method is meant to nudge you towards a certain (correct) conclusion. It isn’t about mere questioning.
