> It kind of sounds like you’re prioritizing how his work benefitted you
Jobs hasn't benefited me much in any significant way. I've never been an Apple fanboy, never worked for Apple, never got rich off Apple stock, don't care much for Toy Story. I have an Apple mini, but used it only for porting D to it.
But I enjoy real life rags-to-riches stories, and Jobs is one of them.

When Jobs passed, he left behind a lot of people who loved him (I'm not talking about fanboys, but people who were his friends and family.)
I recently attended the memorial of a close friend who died. Nearly a hundred people showed up, all trading stories about him. He left behind quite a lot of people who loved him, too.
