Fair is not a part of this. History shows us that Steve Jobs was not an innovator in his own right. He was a person with an arrogant vision of how things should look or work, but he never did the leg work to make them possible. His employees were always the true innovators because they had to take his wild and often vague concepts and translate them into real things which he would either abruptly give favor to or explode over if they didn't meet his expectations. That's not the hallmark of an innovator. That's the hallmark of a maniacal tyrant bent on fulfilling his own aesthetic narcissism. He was a cult of personality and falsely attributed with greatness made possible by others.

Ouch!
That does seem like a reasonably fair assessment, though.
