Steve Jobs would never have allowed this to be released.

People need to stop idolizing Steve Jobs like Apple only produced consistent UI when he was there.

Apple have never respected its own guidelines, for example in the early days of MacOSX there were "brushed metal" apps that were supposed to be (according to the guidelines) for small non-resizable windows. Still, there most popular app, iTunes, broke that by being brushed metal despite being a big, resizable window.
