At a certain level I don't think Edison was cheating, especially in his own mind.
I think it is the case of somebody who has a business focus versus one who doesn't. The exploitation of the ideas is where they have power. Somebody who wants to develop and extend markets will just instinctively push good ideas.
The market runs over inventors who don't know how to give the customers a product to buy and elevates those like Edison that turn concepts into markets.
It was the customers faults. Customers just don't know how to find a hidden genius like Tesla and beg them to make something out of their ideas for the customers can buy.
