I mean, that's not doing anything that IBM wasn't already doing. And they chose to gamble on Steve Jobs' vision than make a "me-too product".
That's how you make the small things, just, unforgettable.

It is likely that this was an influence on the PC's expansion cards that look like larger Apple II cards more than like S-100 cards. It certainly was the reason why they thought they could license CP/M from Bill Gates.
