There's a reason everyone knows who Steve Jobs is and no one knows or cares who the vast majority of these corner-cutting "professionals" are

Everyone knows that one aspiring Austrian painter and do not know most other heads of states. I'd say not falling into disrepute is a clear secondary goal for many corner cutters.

Haha, fair point. Anyway, I reckon that for Steve Jobs that attitude was at least as much a branding strategy as a sincere personal conviction. Though then again, it's not so easy to say where Steve Jobs ends and the iPod begins.
