I read Isaacson's biography.
Steve Jobs is convinced he never did anything bad in his entire life. Except for denying paternity, but that still took a few decades.

It is possible he was very good at deluding himself.
Perhaps that self-delusion is contagious.
If one wants to believe something strongly enough, then maybe one can believe it.
If people want to believe that the only way to produce great form factor and ease of use in a computer is to be Jobs-like and conduct "business" like Apple, then they might believe that, even if there is a good chance or evidence this behaviour is not necessary.
It seems people have a difficult time separating the Apple products from the organization that sells them.
One may be worthy of adoration, the other may not.
