That's because we mean "credit for how well-written the thing is", whereas you mean "credit for agreeing with the meaning".

Because the book is plastered with the author's as well as the publisher's name. Their separation is easily comprehensible. Whereas when an orator delivers, the separation of the writer is not so apparent. It is automatically assumed the orator is the writer.
