I dunno. I also think about how Jobs swindled and mistreated Woz time after time, many of the nerds who cut their teeth on the Apple IIc were appalled by the road he took. By the time the Macintosh released, Apple had cemented themselves as a capricious OEM with no interest in serving every minority niche.

Actions like this feel fully contiguous with Jobs' personality, to me. He wasn't afraid to mistreat large swathes of customers, fans or employees if it meant that Apple could cosmetically pull ahead of it's competitors. He didn't feel obligated to fight fair or defend his moral righteousness, and neither does Cook. This is the exact same Apple you always knew, they've just quit virtue signalling.
