If by "I don't know why people care so much" you mean "I don't know why rationalists care that Steve Jobs was killed by dysrationalia", I think the answer is obvious. We live in a terrifyingly insane world, where woo science can claim a genius who should have known better. This is worth regretting.
I don't think that is true. People aren't automatically rational, and we definitely aren't rational economic agents.
Steve Jobs' death wasn't caused by his disvaluing his life. It was caused by insanity, the kind we all have, and the kind that only rationalists have begun to fight back against. Nobody else realizes how sick they are.
I cut people making decisions before google a lot more slack. If you make a bad a decision because of a lack of info that was on the first page of a google search on the topic I'm not really worried about your shitty outcomes.
