I would suggest that a lot of people think somewhere along the lines of "if I can make a few million ASAP I can focus on the world changing ideas later". Unfortunately, this approach leads to a lot of "me too" type ideas.

The other side of it is that it's very hard to go out and change the world with your first project when you're unknown. Lots of famous entrepreneurs have had many failures and minor successes before being able to command the backing, respect and trust required for changing the world via business.
