Because it gets clicks.

His opinion is as meaningless and irrelevant here as a random person off the street.

I think that's extremely hyperbolic.

If your livelihood depended on an insight into the way Apple's financial systems operate, and your options were Steve Wozniak or the first person you saw on the street in a major city, you'd say "flip a coin?" I didn't think so.

1) Apple Card is backed by Goldman Sachs. So if I was in a major city I would much rather flip a coin and hope to get a GS employee.

2) I used to work at Apple and I know people that were fired for leaking. So I would be very surprised if anyone would be stupid enough to leak the inner workings of the company to Steve. Especially from a financial products team.

Even his opinion on Apple products is largely irrelevant nowadays as he was wrong multiple times.

Jobs left the company for all intents and purposes in the mid 80s. What would he know about Apple’s financial or technical decisions that any outside observer wouldn’t know?
