You forgot he stole actual inventors ideas. He didn't do shit, he just had the money to fund it and the charisma to make other people listen to what introverts couldn't articulate.

I had a work project to collect all his "patents" when he died. They were mostly .ttf typefaces and co-signed design patents with actual inventors. Design patents are just appearance of a product. Which typically meant he gave feedback but didn't do the heavy lifting.

He was not the genius people paint him as. He was a good marketer. The sad part is people don't recognize the actual geniuses behind the curtains.

This is a problem I personally hate. Same reason Musk gets all this credit for being the man behind this or that technology. Motherfucker just throws money and his name at things. He's a modern Steve Jobs in that sense.

This is what confuses actual talent with "I have the money to fund things".
