My understanding is that Cook was never meant to be an innovator, he was a supply chain expert that also has the experience and skills to run a company the size of Apple. Replacing Jobs was never going to happen. Apple navigated the 2020 supply chain crisis almost flawlessly.

As far as innovation goes TC seems to have delegated pretty well so far. The AirPods and Apple Watch innovation were future changing. More recently Apple’s M1 line may not be future changing but absolutely shows Apple’s willingness to take risks while innovating.

Would everything likely be better if Jobs was still around? I think so. But he’s not and I’d rather not have some pseudo-Jobs CEO taking risks he probably shouldn’t.
