Why does everyone need to couch their praise of him by saying he can be a dick, or "I don't like him as a person, but...". He is human and subject to emotions.

Why does everyone need to couch their praise of him by saying he can be a dick, or "I don't like him as a person, but...". He is human and subject to emotions. He is also under an insane amount of pressure and stress that few people could probably even imagine. And on top of that, he is subject to as much press scrutiny as Michael Jackson. I challenge anyone to thrive in that sort of situation while maintaining a high degree of authenticity.

Using your massive social influence to slander someone, calling him a pedophile, is reprehensible behavior that cannot be excused by "pressure". The fact that it took a lawsuit to force him to apologize makes it even worse. However, as an innovator and driver of human progress, he is a godsend. I didn't like Steve Jobs either. He was a massive dick, but he did usher in the smartphone revolution, and brought U/X to the mainstream.
