After some deliberation, I think this mostly makes sense and shouldn’t be upsetting. If someone discovers/invents something important but isn’t capable of communicating that new thing for whatever reason then no one else can benefit from it. Later someone else independently discovers it and is capable of popularizing it and then people can actually benefit from it. So we are often naming things after the popularizers or people who figure out how to make a discovery widely applicable, and they are often at least or more important than the original discoverer.
