Agreed. The example from Jobs’ commencement fell flat as a way to reinforce the point of the article. That quote was inspirational rather than a template for success.
That is my favourite speech ever, and the advise about finding what you love in life and business, is a truth so real that it doesn't matter how much of a platitude it is. The author obviously gave up on this search, and now seemingly wants other people to give up as well.
