The first thing Steve Jobs did when he arrived back at Apple is he got rid of the little “Apple museum” they had in the building. A bunch of old machines. I believe he thought Apple shouldn’t live off its past.

This fact was included in Walter Isaacson's bio, describing his return to Apple.

He just canceled the project, at a time when Apple was hemorrhaging money. It didn't already exist. It was going to exist.
He killed a lot of things to save Apple.
I wouldn't read too much into it.

Apple was failing so their current culture wasn't working and should not be passed on. He wanted a clean break. Plus Apple's past experience was traumatic for him personally. Even if they had been successful without him he'd not want the reminder for that reason alone.
