[cbrachyrhynchos]

The man staked his entire academic career on the radical proposition that Beowulf was to be interpreted as fiction and not as a historical archive of the lives of the Geats. And he says right in letter included in the frontmatter of the Silmarillion that he's creating mythology centered on "fall, mortality, and machine." Which is is the theme that makes sense of everything.

But he did built a world that is fully fleshed out and realized.

It's not. His text is riddled with anachronisms and retcons, some of which he attributes to a series of unreliable narrators (Bilbo primarily) and unnamed translators. The politics, social structures, and economics don't make a lick of sense compared against history. His geography famously doesn't make geologic sense. His historiography is nonsense even by the standards of his peers. It all makes storytelling sense, which is what matters.
