I am really surprised at the group think here. It is no big distortion of reality to realize that Steve is an elitist and has a contempt for people that he sees below himself. He would probably readily admit it.
Further he has road the coat tails of some really brilliant people. He is brilliant in his own right, probably one of the best business men of our times but just because he is and is worth of praise in that respect, does not give him a free pass on the fact that he generally loathes people he perceives as inferior and treats them in a socially unacceptable manner.
I purchase Apple computers and phones and could be considered and avid Apple fan because they are a great products, Just because one likes Apples products does not mean that they have to accept Steve's actions or worse yet justify them for him. He wasted more time and money responding to her than just forwarding to the media department to take care of and he did so for a purpose, to show her that he loathed such a peasant request.

On the other hand, the girl was insistent and didn't "make lemonade out of lemons". She took offence instead. She is arguably in the spotlight now, but I'm not sure it's for the right reason.
