I see what you're saying, and I understand your motives - but I only partly agree. When you are such a public figure, and especially when the company that you are the CEO of is so dependent on you, it is simply one of those things you have to deal with. Every job has its downsides, if you're a fisherman you smell of fish, if you're a mechanic your hands are dirty no matter how much you wash them, and if you're a salesman you have a much higher chance of being burned out. The downside of being a public figure is that other people are interested in you personal life. While I understand that the information disclosed in the article can be seen as a private matter, I can also understand the incentives for bringing it out. It is, after all, of great interest to the shareholders of Apple who the man at the helm really is behind the facade. For a public CEO it is of course a nuisance. Just like it is a nuisance for a fisherman to come home everyday smelling like fish.
