Ridiculous. I worked at Apple and if you have the correct permissions, you can see old Radars that Steve himself wrote and also the comments on them. He was profoundly insightful and absolutely drove product development. An absolute myth that he was just a “salesman.”
Many people who comment on Apple have never actually worked there and they think some curated history book tells the real story.
Go have a conversation with Eddie Cue or Craig Federighi about Steve. Or even Jony Ive. Perhaps talk to some of the original Lisa and Mac teams.
