Flawed comparison.
Jobs was running Apple into the ground and made serious mistakes in leading the company at that time.
He needed to be fired.
On the other hand, Zuckerberg led Facebook to where it is today. The IPO is being made based on the products of his leadership and their ongoing potential.
Any attempt to cast him out as a primary element of the equation when the company shows nothing but growth potential, even in the face of privacy and interface complaints, would be shooting themselves in the foot.
It surely would not happen on Morgan Stanley's watch. Changing the roles and responsibilities of the CEO of a solid investment shortly after pushing the IPO automatically poisons confidence in said investment. The clients would be furious as to why they were not informed that the leadership configuration was going to be modified in such a manner before they made the investment. Morgan Stanley would not deal in such frivolousness.
