You only need to look at the history of Apple with and without Jobs, with and without Cook, to see how replaceable Jobs was and how irreplaceable Cook has been.

Apple’s original crash happened while Jobs was in charge, which was why they fired him in the first place. Jobs’ return brought Cook, and since the second Jobs exit the company has done better than ever.

Cooks biggest blind spot is not playing nice with regulators and not being willing to give an inch. I think Jobs would have been worse. Could you actually see Jobs ever being a trophy for Trump and biting his tongue like Cook does?
