Hate him or not, Steve Jobs understood humans. He spoke and behaved as a human. He was flawed and may be considered "cringey" now, but I think he'd be liked better than the rest.

His Apple keynotes conveyed a sense of magic, for example demonstrating pinch to zoom on the iPhone and pulling a MacBook Air out of a manila envelope. And something he'd be angry because things didn't go as planned.

These pre-recorded keynotes we get nowadays are just bland and AI-generated.

"You're holding it wrong" would beg to differ, not to mention the many flops he had (remember the magic mouse?).

He was smart & very successful. I wouldn't call him relatable to most humans.
