How is it more reasonable? He's comparing Steve Jobs to an infamously corrupt mayor who brutally suppressed anti-Vietnam war protestors and fixed elections to a guy who created products people loved (and was something of a jerk at a personal level, but that's something Stallman should approve of).

But oops, he got the quotation slightly wrong. It doesn't change the meaning but better make sure he gets the quotation right.

Oh yeah, and Jobs was objectionable not for making computers stylish but for being GOOD at at. If people hadn't liked his computers that would have been OK.
