Steve loved WebObjects. Trawl around YouTube and you can find some of his enthusiastic demos from the late NeXT era. In one, IIRC, he builds an entire web store from scratch in about 15 minutes.
But his message on returning to Apple was all about focus. Apple was not going to try to be a web middleware company, so they used the tech where they could benefit from it internally (and did so for a loooong time) and that was that.
Late ‘90s Steve didn’t only put bullets in the heads of technologies (Newton, OpenDoc) that he didn’t like.
