Because it is crazy. Ideas aren't patentable, nor are they copyrightable.
You haven't seen anything good about patents in years? Look around you, do you like the objects you see? Many of them exist because of patents.
Not true. Patents play very little role in consumer products. Large corporations hold patents to defend themselves against other large corporations, just so they can compete against each other. Think of the Samsung-Apple fiasco.
