Okabe DOES say that everyone has Reading Steiner. In Okabe´s case, it deletes the memories of the old world because he never aquires them to begin with, which can be both good and bad. Other characters´ Reading steiner isn´t that advanced, which is why they activate their power sometime after switching world lines. And due to having had the memories of the new world´s self, Reading Steiner doesn´t overwrite them, but simply merges them.
