Steve Jobs lived his life to break rules in front of others for a show of animal dominance. A guy who parked his 12 cylinder ultra-luxury sedan in the Handicapped parking spot repeatedly, daily. Its not just "FU handicapped", its FU handicapped and if you say anything to me, now or later, you are fired. He was famous for firing a nervous nerd during an elevator ride who couldn't justify his job on the spot. The stories are endless. There was no one like Steve Jobs and that is true.
(There's several books people have published about their time at Apple where he yelled at them sometimes, but I note all those people were distinguished engineers+ and he'd made them multimillionaires.)

I feel like that's not a good excuse for yelling at people, but I guess not having made anyone else a multimillionaire and no one having made me one, I don't know the proper decorum for them.
Should say the book authors themselves agree, it's not like they were calling him out. This mostly came from nontechnical commentary who just thought they were low-level guys getting yelled at by the CEO.
Breaking rules in front of others and the examples you give are not comparable to a show of animal dominance. It's a show of power within a corporate environment that has the opposite effect and only shows weakness. If Steve Jobs thought he was expressing animal dominance through those instances he clearly would have misunderstood the concept.
