Not all CEOs are overpaid greedy people who contribute little.

If Apple wouldn't have been on top some other company would have. And you talk about "nobody would even know they existed"? Seriously? What are the names of Apple's employees that get the ideas and put them in practice? And at the top of the Apple vs. Samsung legal battle you had Apple customers talk about how Apple makes better displays than Samsung completely oblivious to the fact that Samsung was making the screens for Apple's devices as well.
Jobs had the magical talent of taking credit for other people's work.
