It's clear that Jobs was critical to Apple financial success. The abnormal clarity of his contributions would actually obscure the argument, though.

There are many more Ginni Romettys than Steve Jobs, how does one successfully apply this analysis in less obvious scenarios?

It's abundantly clear that CEO decisions make or break a company. That's why one doesn't want to scrimp in compensation offers to them. It costs you an extra million in compensation, but the CEO making the right decisions is worth far more than that.

Apple churned through several CEOs who did not make a difference.

How does one make an analysis? That's the game, indeed.
