I think you're actually describing Sheldon Cooper. LOL 😉

But yeah, he certainly comes across as a total prat nobody really likes. If you get a chance, check out Alex Gibney's scathing documentary on Jobs and how he ran Apple, it's worth a look (and touched on some of the stuff you mention).

The reason he was such an exhaustive asshole was that he most likely had Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He is utterly incapable of empathizing with others, and feels he is special and therefore warrants constant special treatment. You can see this in his death where he tried special herbal remedies instead of commonplace cancer treatments. Try dealing with anyone like this for more than 30 minutes, and you too will feel withered. Working for someone like this would be insufferable. Again, I haven't seen the film, but I imagine it's a pretty decent portrayal of his (likely) mental illness. Sorkin was wise to portray him like this, and shine a light on the fact that insufferable assholes should not have a cult of personality behind them.
