Not "adults", just corporate drones, usually stiffling what made the company great.

In a real capitalist society where success wasn't tied to optics and stock performance but actual products, the "adults" would have burned the company to the ground.

You do remember the shit show that Steve Jobs was as CEO the first time? Of course Wozniak knew he would be horrible CEO and never tried.

I remember him making the product that saved the company and had their future 15 years without him based on. And I remember him being ousted without be given a chance by pencil pushers.

The company would have been dead without the Apple //e that kept it afloat for 3-5 years. The Mac didn’t become the revenue generator until 1989. It takes more than a “good product” to be a viable business.
