I work like you, and my advice would be to not get super attached to a particular idea, or it can cause tunnel vision and frustration at how slow the world is to adopt your insight, be patient.

Good ideas are relatively common, what is less common is an environment where you can change the world with an idea, that is what you are searching for now.

Apply for work at some corporate research lab for the job security and leverage your new insights to solve some cool problems.

yeah, this is pretty much my view on it also. I am not so much frustrated, but wondering if there is a way of progressing a research career outside of typical research institutions with actual research
