when i was growing up i genuinely wanted to be a silicon valley programmer guy (in a good way i mean i was like 15); used to look forward to the keynotes like a playoff game

You're missing the point, whether or not we needed someone like Steve Jobs has come and pass. What matters is the success that the iPhone had entirely because of his ability to work an audience of more than tech-nerds. No one in the 2000s was doing keynotes like Apple with even half the social, adoptive, or financial success that they did.
