I don't get the point of this type of comment that I see from time to time. It's not a question of whether Microsoft has managed to stay afloat, or make XX dollars in revenue, the question is whether a better CEO would have made a difference in comparison to Ballmer? Apparently the board thinks so, and I agree. Ballmer is not in the same league as the top tier, like Musk, Bezos, etc. Ballmer is a shouting, sweaty, salesman. That might have worked in the 70s and 80s, but not anymore.
