Why is it said that with greater ability comes greater responsibility?

Because capable individuals, such as industry leaders, if they do not take on the responsibility of the entire industry and only consider their own interests, will ultimately lead the industry to decline together, and their own benefits will also disappear.
When the leader goes astray, even if there is a deep abyss ahead, the flock will follow and jump.
From another perspective, criticism of industry leaders is worth encouraging because they no longer need more praise; criticism itself already reflects recognition of them. As a member of the industry, criticizing the leader is also a way to build the industry.
Critics are very valuable and deserve respect.
Conversely, one should be very cautious of those mindless praise or even sycophantic worship of industry leaders. Their behavior is only for their own benefit and is not good for the industry. Essentially, they are no different from the Red Guards of great leaders.
