I'm not talking about emotional decisions. Investors were happy with what Jobs did. A business decision that tells people that the new management thinks that Jobs was wrong might be too much trouble for them.
When it comes to mobile devices Apple doesn't cater to the needs of the few, but the needs of the many. If their market research tells them that only a couple of million customers want a 7" iPad, it's not worth it for them to make one. It's not that they can't make a profit on a device this size, it's that for them it looks bad if they make a mobile device that only a couple of million customers want.
