Also modern Apple devices are based on the NeXT's operating system and have nothing other than cosmetic and emulative compatibility with MacOS. OSX/macOS is NeXTStep on top of Mach.

Not really to "bring back Jobs". Jobs was not considered any kind of wonder CEO or miracle worker at the time. They wanted a new OS, as their own traditional Mac OS successor attempt had failed.
They also looked and negotiated with Be (for BeOS), so it wasn't that they wanted Jobs particularly.
It would just be a nice "back to roots" publicity side benefit, but nobody considered Jobs especially their potential saviour at the time...
Is that he has been awarded dozens of prestigious design awards and accolades from famous industrial designers?
Because all these have also "zero design taste"?
How about you overblow some of his wrong choices and obsessions (especially around 2015-2018), and ignore more than a decade of wonderful products, widely successful, praised for their design (looks and function), and well received?
Here's an Ive fanboy:
I’m have to admit being a bit baffled by how nobody else seems to have done what Apple did with the Macbook Air – even several years after the first release, the other notebook vendors continue to push those ugly and clunky things. Yes, there are vendors that have tried to emulate it, but usually pretty badly. I don’t think I’m unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light. Btw, even when it comes to Apple, it’s really just the Air that I think is special. The other apple laptops may be good-looking, but they are still the same old clunky hardware, just in a pretty dress. I’m personally just hoping that I’m ahead of the curve in my strict requirement for “small and silent”. It’s not just laptops, btw – Intel sometimes gives me pre-release hardware, and the people inside Intel I work with have learnt that being whisper-quiet is one of my primary requirements for desktops too. I am sometimes surprised at what leaf-blowers some people seem to put up with under their desks.

"If I had a spiritual partner at Apple, it's Jony. Jony and I think up most of the products together and then pull others in and say, 'Hey, what do you think about this?' He gets the picture as well as the most infinitesimal details about each product. And he understands that Apple is a product company. He's not just a designer. That's why he works directly for me. He has more operational power than anyone else at Apple except me."
But sure. I prefer the clunky beige form that ruled the world before Apple started making big design waves in computers.
It appears you believe that Mac OS 8 was the OS of the future. You're welcome to that opinion.
In the case of hospitals, a system occasionally takes over a bankrupt hospital. That isn't particularly worse for the people that continue to have proximity to the services available at the hospital.
