It's also entirely possible that Jobs would have run Apple into the ground in the mid 80s. Apple III and Lisa were expensive, unmitigated failures, and the Mac arrived as Jobs was leaving. Would Jobs have gone along with the high-price/high-margin strategy of Sculley/Gassee?

Was about to say exactly that. Yes, Jobs 2.0 was a massive success at Apple, but it's not clear to me that Apple would have survived the 1.0 -> 2.0 learning curve.
