My experience says the opposite. Sorry.
#2: Yes, this point is ignored because it was not really the focus. The benefit you speak of can be realized without statements like "W3SCHOOLS IS TROUBLE" in big scary letters on W3Fool's homepage. The attitudes of the people involved and the clarity of their content are the focus of the article.
However, I would feel more emotionally impacted if Jobs was less egocentric. His world was just that: His world. If something did not meet his vision, he was ready to talk down to it. Even if he was right, his attitude and politics made it difficult for me to really warm up to him.
All I can say is that I wish his family and friends a good life after their tragedy. Regardless of what I think, they knew a man they will never forget.
Are people who say that "every tool has qualities, therefore they're all fine" always trying to say that it does not matter what tool you use? If they are worth their salt, they will choose tool A if tool A works and is "better" than B, but will not assume B is inheritable inferior in all projects. The whole idea is to recognize the qualities of tools and asking yourself if you can really use them.
Suggesting that one tool is always better enables a mindset similar to that in manifest destiny ("[God told us] our culture is better than yours, so be like us").
I'm not saying you can not be "gray" and "wrong", but being gray is not unconditionally wrong and certainly does not deserve to be called "poison".
