Why did Thomas Edison invent the light bulb?
The real answer is that he didn’t invent the lightbulb. He had only improved on what someone else did a year before him. And in order to avoid legal battle joined with the real inventor James Swan to market the lightbulb in Europe. To say he invented it is farfetched when the proper research is done. But to say who created the better product of that time would be more proper and Edison would fit that bill because he did work to make the better product.
