Maybe because the board has no control over his decisions - https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/22/snap-10-k-annual-report-show...

At what point does he realize that his decisions are bad and he needs supervision?

He is a billionaire married to a VS supermodel. At this point, he's more likely to squander all his money and make reality TV appearances to make ends meet, than turn Snap around.

Jobs was a genius late in life (sans on his own health,) but he also helped run Apple into the ground after early success. People tend to forget that.

Jobs never changed his vision - build stylish easy to use appliances of the future. What drove Next down was the same philosophy that made Mac lineup so popular mid 00s when the technology finally caught up to Jobs vision

I was more thinking about shortly before Jobs was fired from Apple in the mid-80s.
