what 'win'. there is no win here. maybe you should spend more time in understanding and considering what others are actually saying, rather than jumping into premade conclusions out of various biases regarding compassion and harmony and whatnot :

you were not appreciating steve, and his contributions. you were appreciating the contributions he has not made, attributed to him by misinformed enthusiasts of his company and devices, which was going to the extreme end of crediting the persona of this entity with effectively materializing internet as we know it, and even more, some revolution movements in around middle east. while the actual people who practically 'made' internet, are still alive.
crediting of accomplishments that does not belong to the actual entity, is, in case you have forgot, how polarization works in negative 4th, 5th, and 6th dimensions as per what Ra material tells us. it is possible to have forgotten that, but it is rather curious as to how someone does not understand that extreme personality cult and magnification and deification of an entity's persona and participating in this, is a negative format.
actually this is anyone's choice. however, other people who know what is what, especially people who are working in information technology like me, are not mandated to sit and wait while misinformation that is totally untrue is being propagated around, and defended and asserted so strongly like you did.
had you come up and said that steve jobs had had created trendy, cool gadgets with a measure of user friendliness which some people like very much, and actually extremely much, i would just agree. had you come up and said that, steve jobs was a major figure in computer industry, i would agree. had you come up and said that steve jobs had had made a mark in the popular culture of contemporary times, i would still agree.
but, when you come up and say that steve jobs made internet, or personal computers as we know it, or popularized computers or internet, and assert it so strongly, there is no way to not explain the wrongness of those assertions and argue against your proposition.
