Taking responsibility happens to be very meaningful. There no reason why someone else should do the work that you want to have done.
The frame that there some outside authority on which you should rely isn't what this forum is about. Academics are normal people and you could be one if you want.
Steve isn't really interested in academia but rather in changing peoples lives directly through workshops, articles and books. However ideas aren't owned by people. They are out there and everyone can do with them what they want.

Academia doesn't work that way that a single person from the outside come into academia with a big theory and does academia on the side.

You rather have some psychology graduate who takes it on him to write a doctoral thesis that tries to push the idea into an academic framework.
