Cook failed Steve Jobs.
Jobs was entirely focused on the product....something that Cook can’t accomplish.

Agree. Steve Jobs famously proclaimed look forward, and not back. His focus was on a point in the future which he wanted to get to. He didn't care about past failures or successes, it was about what could be in the future. Cook is looking back and lost focus on the future.

Apple's last big things were the iPhone and iPad, which Jobs pioneered. Jobs was a minimalist. Cook is a supply chain guy, and also big into gay aesthetics. When Jobs was alive, Apple had the reputation of being the creative person's tool, and even though there were some misfires (the puck mouse and the Apple Cube) the design was always well thought out. Now, Apple is more high tech jewelry, and a lot of the design is awkward.
