There are probably a ton of incredible banger games out there that don't exist because the person who thought of it just doesn't know how to code

Nah.

That's like saying a lot of banger songs could exist but the person doesn't know how to write music.

Absolute delusional bullshit.

Verifying the idea is good is also part of the process. Play testing, making hard decisions, smoothing out jank, juicing up the experience... The whole implementation can make or break a game.

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.
