It's highly likely that without Jobs, we wouldn't have had the awesome velcro that holds the top cover of an Apple II closed.
For those that haven't had the privilege, first move the monitor and Disk II units off, then grasp the back of the top cover of the Apple II, and lift up. There will be a ripping of Velcro.
It's surprising that no one else ever seemed to copy this, and not something that'd ever occurred to me until now.

The Apple II would not have had a keyboard or power supply without Jobs' vision though.
You're probably right that it wasn't the design aesthetic that counted, but Jobs' customer focus was still very important.
