Yes! This is precisely the point! It is because I am not doing philosophy that I have no reason to do that. If I were doing philosophy, I would. If I were doing (analytic) philosophy and didn’t clarify and justify, I would be doing (analytic) philosophy badly!
I suspect you are laboring under the misapprehension that meaning must be either objective or subjective. Obviously I am not endorsing an objective story, and existentialism is the salient subjective one, so you mistake my story for that.

somehow I feel like I completely agree with you although I would use very different words to describe it my best boil-it-down would be > meaning comes from mattering which I like to say, although I think you might not like it. or I would say that meaning is a decision,pic.twitter.com/5fJ9dqYlog

Nope I don't think meaning is either subjective/objective. You also oversimplify existentialism in your book. Where does any existentialist say meanings have to be 'unique,' for example? existentialism is compatible with objective meaning - in the 'rational observers agree' sense
