Besides, things change in the world. Sometimes what didn't need to be private one day REALLY needed to be secret the next (think German Jews, 1940). Generally, the less people know about you, the better.

Apple leases a lot of its technologies, but largely for peripherals. I don't know for certain, but I would guess that the things Jobs feels most protective of are those that he makes the most money off of, I.E. the boxes and the laptops. Without that reliable base profit, and considering Apple's small market share, bankruptcy would be right around the corner. Apple does what it has to do to stay in business in a Windows world.
