I agree that in that light, it shouldn't be. I think there are two things to consider though: 1) Steve Jobs took a lot of 'time off' over his last few years where he had to take a big step back. Apple could afford it because he dominated their culture even when he wasn't there. 2) I think the next year at Yahoo, if all goes as Yahoo investors would like, is more important existentially than the last year of Jobs tenure. I'm not saying the last year under Jobs wasn't big, but there is more pressure on her than Jobs had to do more to change the company.
