Like between 1993 and 2000, only really turning around because Jobs was a hard-nosed businessman.

Also: is macOS "perfectly fine now"? How many people only use it because it's necessary for iOS development?

Exactly, he knew that the success of the platform relied on third party developers (NeXTSTEP was a huge improvement)

I don't know? Do you? I would bet on around 5%. Although I'm not quite sure what's your point?
