IMHO it does matter how big Apple is today, because that's the appropriate context, that's the size of the pie that's being divided and the size of value creation for which he's being compensated. The payout is less than 0.05% of the value increase of Apple under Cook's leadership. Many other people played a hand in it, but it seems to me quite plausible to attribute at least 1/1000th of that growth to Tim Cook personally.
