The myth that software was excellent under Jobs is just hat - a myth. I mean, iTunes was commissioned by Jobs, as well as many of early, clunkier iOS versions(no notification centre until much later, no copy/paste in the original iPhone, etc.

Jobs didn't commission iTunes. He bought it. It used to be known as SoundJam MP.

that's even worse as he could see plain as day the product they were investing in. with a commission you may claim it was a failed vision implementation

At the time, SoundJam MP was the best music player on any platform. Early versions of iTunes were pretty awesome, too.
