If someone is to be accused of something let it be when they are able to answer their accusers back.

Apple has to decide (and try to convince the DOJ) what he meant; corporate lawsuits are not going to stop because the main negotiator is no longer in the company or is deceased. "He's passed on, therefore let's not interpret what he said or did harshly" doesn't give redress to the people harmed.
Nobody's attacking Steve Jobs; they're interpreting the actions of the former head of Apple. Since the current company still honors the contracts he made, they're stuck with trying to stand behind his words.
