Attribution
Why this is one claim.
Jobs and Wozniak represent the founding era; Cook represents the operating era that carried Apple from the Jobs transition to the snapshot.

What could still move.
The grouping is deliberately conservative about double counting, but the combined retained-equity estimate still needs a complete estate and executive award audit.
