Who cares? He’s dead. I know that sounds harsh but this obsession and worship of founders has to stop. Companies are people or so says the Supreme Court. So now that the company exists it’s bigger than any one person even the founder.

The company he built is now an order of magnitude more valuable and hardware is the best it’s ever been.

It’s maturing. No company stays nimble and vibrant and agile forever. It’s paying a dividend for Pete’s sake.

All these callbacks to oh no apple under Steve never would have done this … yeah well it’s 2025 and he unfortunately got cancer and died from it. Apple as a company lives on and new leadership should be free to take it in any direction they seem justified.
