I think what they were trying to say is that, to the kind of mind capable of being as ruthless in getting to the top as Gates was, the biggest anxiety they would have after making it to the top is that someone will come and take it from them.

I mean, it's a rational position to want to defend the business you created or the market share you carved out. Every business has to do this to survive. The only problem is when a business resorts to unethical tactics.
Gates seemed to go through a bit of a transition sometime after this (perhaps after the antitrust case), where he seemingly lost his uber competitiveness and then stepped down from CEO position.
