Apple and NeXT?
In the case of hospitals, a system occasionally takes over a bankrupt hospital. That isn't particularly worse for the people that continue to have proximity to the services available at the hospital.

Also modern Apple devices are based on the NeXT's operating system and have nothing other than cosmetic and emulative compatibility with MacOS. OSX/macOS is NeXTStep on top of Mach.

Not really to "bring back Jobs". Jobs was not considered any kind of wonder CEO or miracle worker at the time. They wanted a new OS, as their own traditional Mac OS successor attempt had failed.
They also looked and negotiated with Be (for BeOS), so it wasn't that they wanted Jobs particularly.
It would just be a nice "back to roots" publicity side benefit, but nobody considered Jobs especially their potential saviour at the time...
