I used to agree with you, but ever since Jobs' battle to stay alive and still not handing the reins over to someone else and enjoy the rest of his days spending his dough I find myself agreeing with the GP, it is very well possible that Apple is the thing that Jobs enjoys doing the most in the world, and that he really wouldn't give up his role there and his stock in return for any amount of money.
Those that have stood with one leg in the grave are usually pretty aware of the time they spend and how they spend it, I don't see Jobs letting up at all.
I'd guess a merger that gave him a chance to bury Microsoft might make him sit up and take notice. HP maybe? Their hardware and channels exclusively running Macos would be a juggernaut.

Why does a price have to be monetary in nature? I'm sure that, were it entirely up to Steve, there is something that would make him sell Apple.

sure, if you gave him second life he might consider it.
Puts that new liver in context.
