Actually it's the other way around.
Under jobs, Apple has vision clarity, iOS was going to be primarily consumptive, and MacOS was production. The two were not to meet.
MSFT on the other hand had grown too many OSes to deal with capably, an example being that xbox, windows, windows CE all had their own implementation of TCP (iirc).
So MS decides to fix their architecture, unifying and ordering all implementations. It's a huge under taking.
Apple without jobs is meandering towards the same ideas. But iOS is not designed for these use cases. The iPad Pro and Mac OS will not converge. The best that the iPad Pro will become is a power android variant.
Microsoft will keep making surface and surface like devices, which will be not face that limitation.
If anything, Apple will have to imitate the entire Microsoft style, and include a touch screen on the mac, along with stylus support.

Their product vision is lost without jobs.
