Apple is the worst example that you could use. Steve Jobs never wrote single line of code! He didn't solder a single chip into a single iPhone. Nor was he the lead product designer, the lead ad man, or an expert in any field EXCEPT dealing with people. He brought all the people together to form the iPhone teame at Apple, and that was far more instrumental to designing, manufacturing, shipping, and selling iPhones than any technical expertise.
My point stands that the iPhone exists because of the scientists and engineers who created the technolgoies. Just because Jobs was the figurehead does not mean he should be attributed with the success of apple technology, which probably wasn't even developed specifically for apple.
