Jobs is not very good at product design, and admired Ives' work. Yet, Jobs is regarded as one of the greatest product innovators of all time. Ives is a gigantic part of that.
Having Ives wasn't a weakness of Jobs' it was a strength. If anything, Jobs taking away control from Ives was oftentimes blunders in Apple design (iOS heavy skeuomorphism was urged on by Jobs against Ives' wishes allegedly).
Feaster having great Intel and acting on it appropriately should be viewed a weakness; in the same way we would view the iPhone a great achievement of Jobs'. Yet, at the time, touch screen smart phones were available. What made the iPhone a success was Ives. 100%.
