Not every film protagonist is there as a positive role model. Especially not in every his aspect. It would be more than boring. Pragmatically, often are the "bad guys" even more attractive for the film that wants to have more viewers. The producers want to push the viewers' emotions.

I'm claiming again: even Jobs' bad sides are very thankful for films! Hey, we're talking about the guy who drove without the license plates and parked at the parking areas for those with disabilities. Absolutely perfect for a movie.

I think you misunderstand what I am saying. I don't care about JObs smoking weed or being on LSD, I care more about the total absence of criticism for his vision of Computing.
Let's just say: as long as he was alive, Apple wasn't in the Prism program. I don't know of many people in this business with such a clear vision.
We have no idea if that was up to Jobs or not. Honestly this is very far-fetched.
