“The death of any man aged 56 is very sad for his widow and family. And no one would deny that Steve Jobs was a brilliant and highly innovative technician, with great business flair and marketing ability.”

Meaning

This reads as a careful attempt to separate private grief from public judgment. It acknowledges the sadness of an early death for family, while also making room for an оценation of public talent and achievement, which can sound cold or balanced depending on the reader. It lands in discussions where a famous figure is being remembered and someone is trying to hold sympathy and criticism in the same sentence.
