I suspect that the thinking when he was appointed was that logistics was going to be key to Apple’s future success. And at the time, they also had a number of high profile creative people in other roles, though they have pretty much all moved on since. And if you look at their financial performance in the years since Cook took over—which is the board actually cares about—it’s hard to say that this was a bad approach.
