Cuz he knows as well as everybody that Jobs is Apple. Without Jobs, Apple is Microsoft without Gates - just another big tech outfit. Actually, MSFT even with BillG was heading down the tubes worse than Apple was with Jobs under the weather. Yet there is that nature of corporate America to undo the special something that Apple and Microsoft had. Unless Jobs groomed a successor, Apple is doomed to become a middle aged company much like Microsoft. . On the upside, it means that maybe Google can move on in. Or somebody else - eventually we'll have a new upstart to dream of.
