The S. Jobs phenom is a typical capital-intensive individual with a real opportunistic character. Once they accumulate enough wealth to conjoin with the legal system their story becomes a controlled narrative. Ex. what you said but also later on S. Jobs borrowed ideas heavily from the Xerox parc research work tank staffed with actual scholars who were into science, not necessarily controlling a personal fable for public consumption. These biz people are wealthy enough to keep their thumb on a fawning media, plus, if anyone gets out of line or off-topic these characters will then will exercise their legal power, so expect to get clobbered or sued, or chastised by herds of fan boys.
