IMO you can not be a good story teller or a good author if you can't write well enough.

Commercial success doesn't equal book quality. There are so many horrible books out there that sell well.
Also, you don't have to enjoy reading a book for it to be great. It's less "enjoyable" reading The Republic by Plato than The Way of the Kings by Brandon Sanderson. But The Republic is one of those important books to exist in our world, and still is Brandon Sanderson the one who sells disgusting amounts of books.
