If Jobs was alive, but didn't manage to build any more new products opening new markets in the next twenty years, your message would quite aptly apply to him too.
"Jobs made some quite important things twenty or thirthy years ago that are still useful or relevant nowadays. So what? It doesn't entitle him to be a pretentious, hypocritical "I know what's best for you" moron.
I'm sorry for the rudeness, but enough with the cult of personality, please."
Unfortunately he's gone, and we won't be able to tell.

He did introduce the original Macintosh 17 years ago (1984). Sure, past performance doesn't necessarily mean much, but Jobs has had a hand in so many different areas.
