I think Steve Jobs was always kind of pissed that he couldn't get away with dumbing-down Shake. But when your clients are Peter Jackson's WETA, and ILM, you're not going to be able to put Lord of the Rings and King Kong on your homepage (which Apple loved to do) if you cripple their primary effects tool.

And in addition to the companies you mention, there was also Pixar, which of course he was also running. He was probably even more pissed that Catmull wasn't willing to dump all of Pixar's Linux machines and use Macs :)
