It’s a cute story that plays into the same old assertions about Steve Jobs, but the conclusion is mostly baseless. There are many other, more credible, less conspiratorial, possible explanations.
It could have played into it though, but I agree the support contract that couldn't be worked out mentioned elsewhere in the thread is more likely.
But I think these things are usually a combination. When a business relationship sours, agreements are suddenly much harder to work out. The negotiators are still people and they have feelings that will affect their decisionmaking.
