This is a false dichotomy. I already said he's brilliant. But that doesn't mean that he wasn't also very lucky.

No success is without a good degree of luck. Repeated successes show it's less likely that the "luck" is the main factor.

I don't think "main factor" is even a useful description. With billions of people on this planet, many will score high on brilliance. Steve Jobs could score equally highly on luck. Both could be entirely necessary for this level of success.
