> Are we discussing Steve Jobs in 1985?

Steve Jobs left because he lost a corporate power struggle. Sam Altman was fired because the board thought he was too fundamentally untrustworthy to remain as CEO (if we're to believe their statement ofc).

Different kinds of "controversy" IMO

Steve also actually, you know, left. And stayed away for over a decade.

Sam stayed because we won a corporate power struggle.

Likely Steve Jobs left because if we stayed we would have been fired or removed of all responsibilities.
