The US was created by its citizens. Any country can do that.
As for Steve Jobs, I worked for a company in the 70's that had everything Jobs had - and much more. It could have easily become what Apple became. But what was missing was the company didn't have a Steve Jobs that had the vision to create what Apple created.
I'm sure there were many, many contemporary companies in the same boat - unable (in retrospect) to see their hand in front of their face.
I had many opportunities to become a billionaire. I didn't not because I was unlucky, but because I was stupid and unwilling to take the risk necessary.
