"After a week’s work, we determined: that was a lie." (complete with dank text-overlay meme).
For Jobs it was a useful simplification (one of many) so the audience could understand the underpinnings. I don't think anyone rational thought the 4gb device on an entirely different architecture was actually running cat-branded OS X. You'd definitely not need a week to figure that out either.
Then to position this statement so early in the piece as some proof of their abilities or authority to speak on the matter does precisely opposite.
As much as hating on Jobs is fashionable, the bigger hyperbole is calling his statement a lie. iPhone OS and iOS both borrow heavily from OSX/macOS.
