What things did he do?

He invented the rounded rectangle, all hail

Jobs insisted on selling a touchscreen-only smartphone. Turns out, he was right on that one.

But like, he didn't design or build it himself. His company did.

So by that logic he's still the same as Musk, who insisted on a mass-market EV car or reusable rockets.

His company did.

It wasn't even his company, they stole the concept from another company. The home button also wasn't an apple original. The "sum of the parts" was the "original" thing

He was also right about not supporting Flash on the iPhone. People wanted to crucify him for that, but better video and web standards came about because of it, and we're all better off living in a world without Flash.
