Apple was also very secretive about the early Macintosh when it was being developed, but time passed and eroded the necessity of the secrecy compared to the entertainment value of the story. Archive.org records show that Folklore started hosting Macintosh stories for the first time around January 26, 2004. The Macintosh 128k was released on January 24, 1984. That means it took 20 years for the early Mac stories to accumulate into the critical mass necessary for Revolution in the Valley to be written. As time passes, we'll probably start hearing the juicy stories of the iPhone's development.
When the Mac launched Apple made all the key guys available for interviews. We knew their names, we knew what they worked on. Sure, we didn't get the dirt until long after the fact, but the Mac didn't just drop from the sky with Steve Jobs standing on top of it.
