Again- his influence reaches throughout the entire industry, not just his own products. GUI design, user interfacing, packaging, etc. It matters not that you don't own any Apple stuff. I don't either. But I benefit from his innovation every day, and so do you.

His success and failures shaped the early computing industry. If you think his work is all iPods and white touchscreen devices with earbuds, you could not be more misguided.

And a big LO F'N L at the gripe about assembly being done overseas. If you think that's the biggest anti-American thing going on in the IT industry you are missing a ton.
