How many things that most people ( within Apple Fans circle ) commonly believes that are plain wrong was started by him?
Apple invented USB-C and turned it over to USB-IF
The original AirPod was sold at cost.
These are the two I remember well, others including Modem, CPU, Unified Memory, and now Payment. Although arguably Payment doesn't count because he did admit he is wrong.
Basically Gruber and Daniel Eran Dilger from AppleInsider have similar traits, they have made their own conclusion and they derived their explanation backwards.
Gruber also lies about having invented markdown, which was actually invented by Aaron Swartz in 2002 (http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/atx/intro.html). Gruber just wrote a little perl script called Markdown.pl in 2004, but after Swartz's suicide in 2013, he pretended that he had come up with the whole thing, and has been using it to market himself ever since. Truly repugnant behavior.
