He did the minimum required by law. Everyone does that. So what?
Jobs originally was motivated to "change the world" and provide computing access to everyone. It was an idealistic and unrealistic plan. He failed to understand (at first) how business operates (without morals or concern for anything other than profit.)
Once he understood that simple singular fact, he exploited it to the fullest and even though Apple never had a dominate market share they made the most actual cash profit.
You go to any third world/developing country on the planet and you will find super cheap (old) computer equipment that is ALL running some version of Windows.
So who really brought computing to the masses? Who really deserves that legacy?
Smartphones would have been a natural evolution of cellphones without Jobs.
In reality he did nothing admirable except be a shark business man which requires being an asshole. Job well done - Jobs
