Ive is a brilliant hardware designer but software UX is a whole different ballgame and his ability there is currently a big question mark. Cue and Federighi were both on board when a number of architecturally questionable APIs were added (Storyboards, AutoLayout), so they're a bit of an unknown too. That's why there's so much riding on iOS 7.
Contrast this to Google which has a strong, stable team in place that's been doing superb work for the last few Android releases and you can see why people are a little gun shy about APPL right now.
