The article is neither making or debunking that claim. It is debunking the claim that apple revolutionized computer power supplies by borrowing the switching power supply design used in oscilloscopes. It’s the second sentence of the post.
I've never heard the claim that apple revolutionized computer power supplies.
I've heard the claim they make decent ones.
Jobs made the claim in his biography. Read the article or the book.
To be fair, he (and many other people) consider significant quality and design improvements as “revolutionary”. I tend to agree especially when the entire industry makes garbage. For example the touchpad. It’s still one of the top reasons not to switch to anything else for me. Nothing else comes close to being as accurate and natural.

So why didn’t any other computer maker do it?
They did. Read the article.
What claim made in the article do you think is incorrect?
