He is not arguing against it. He is arguing that Steve has caused harm to the computing culture by creating a walled garden. Eric is arguing against Steve's doublespeak which was evident from the start of his carrier. On one hand he was projecting himself as a liberator. On the other hand he was fighting nails and teeth against putting extra ports in the original Apple created by Woz. Eventually he succeeded during his second stint. He was a wonderful designer and marketer but portraying him as if he was Christ is not right too. Eric is not denying his marketing skill or design sense. He is trying to break the aura of cult created around Apple so that future of computing can be opened a little bit.
