It's pretty clear from the second-to-last paragraph that Gruber understands that Jobs was a fallible human being.
Gruber concedes an inch to take a mile. It's a tactic as old as time and it's hardly surprising that he uses it here.
However it is the volume of the book dedicated to humanizing Jobs that turned many of Jobs greatest fans against Isaacson. As Gruber says "Isaacson got the self-absorbed hypocritical asshole right, but the world is full of self-absorbed hypocritical assholes."
