I think there's a difference between acknowledging that Steve Jobs was justified in being angry and holding that Google shouldn't have been allowed to do what they did. I think the most certain thing is that both iOS and Android are better off because the other exists. The competition has allowed for a lot of mutual copying, just as we'd seen in the PC market before it, and in just about every other technological development since the stone age.

Steve Jobs is justified in being angry because he feels ownership of his ideas. Is anger is held impotent because we recognize that a healthy degree of copying is good for innovation. Both of those are OK.
