So you're saying any rando could have accomplished what Steve Jobs did? Leadership matters as demonstrated by all the similar companies which made horrible decisions in hindsight, and now are no longer around.

Sure, but those similar companies all paid their CEOs an absolute fortune too, so it seems that paying CEOs buckets of cash isn't a very good gamble.

I knew a person who worked in the food service industry and I worked in IT. I once asked her what she thought most people made on the upper half of one of the 40+ floor buildings in town. She said they likely made at least $50k/year. To her rich people made over $50k/year. It made no difference if some made $350k and others made $50k, they were effectively the same to her.
