This is exactly why. Steve makes "impossible" demands that the engineers claim they can't meet (but in the end, do) and design decisions that sacrifice features for aesthetics (which users will "hate", but invariably become a huge success). I love that Apple decided to ship a cell phone missing a stack of features because they knew they had what was REALLY important to the user already in there. And that they spent time getting the little things right (like nice transitions, and a unified look and feel) rather than add more features.
