This may end up being a wise choice for the company (I think Ev is happier now), but you don't have to be a detail-oriented leader to be a great CEO. You just have to be great at finding people who complement your strengths and weaknesses as a leader.
There is no perfect CEO, so Ev's situation shouldn't apply to everyone. Zuck kept power as CEO and has done an extraordinary job. Larry and Sergey created a triumvirate for the big decisions, and that's worked out quite well as well.

Scientifically any theory about Zuck doing an "extraordinary job" is non-falsifiable. Why then should we read the innumerable puff pieces about why one person should be CEO and another person COO?
