The founder will leave someday soon over disputes with Zuck, as was the case for all other founders before him.

True, but this is true for just about every FANG now. Google makes innovators ... and they leave. Facebook occasionally creates one, but mostly buys innovators, and the end result is the same: they leave. Apple never inspired much loyalty in the first place, and the only innovator remaining is Woz, who has no role at the company.
