People make these things we buy. Those people believe certain things about how the world works---about how they want it to work and should work and what they can offer, should offer to make it happen.
Begin a fan and being truly respectful based on an understanding for one's success are very different things. Rush is clearly the former but just like anyone else, can't respect what he doesn't understand or appreciate. He has admiration for Jobs' success but his respect is tied only to that, and more than once discredits the possibility---if not probability---that all that came from within Jobs wasn't an important part of that success.
