I think the creating OS X is in the same league as creating UNIX or Linux. Sure, Jobs wasn't a coder like Ritchie or Torvalds, but it's not like they didn't also have a lot of help.
"Hacker" News at its finest. By similar reasoning, Windows NT et al. is there too--and honestly, probably should be beyond, given the great effort put into backwards compatibility.
Part of the genius of Torvalds (aided, arguably, by ESR and other open-source proponents) was the creation of a truly distributed development model.
