You’re not wrong, but a big part of this is the maturity of the industry as a whole. The more a technology progresses, the harder it is to make significant leaps. There were many more “easy wins” back in the Jobs days as personal computers were a relatively new thing.

Definitely fewer interesting products.

Steve:

  • iMac, especially the first couple
  • iPod
  • PowerMac
  • iPhone
  • iPad

Tim:

  • Apple Watch
  • Vision Pro

... and the idea for Watch may have started during Steve's time, too. And I'm probably forgetting some of the ones during Steve's time.

I remember making fun of the iPad when it came out, like pretending it’s just a huge-ass phone. Who needs this?!

I’ve used mine for hundreds of hours, now. It’s the best thing ever for power outages. It’s such a good art tablet. I love it.

So he must be doing a good Jobs, that is to say Tim isn't cooked.

update (i couldn't resist): If he is working, let Tim cook.

To be fair, he didn't rush in, he put in the work!

No shit, Sherlock, Jobs has been dead for a while if you didn't notice.
