John Siracusa is an icon in the Apple community. It is significant that he's calling for new leadership.
I also would like to see a new CEO. Even so, I don't see it as necessarily leading to better treatment of customers or developers. Arrogance seems to have become part of the culture at Apple, and if a new CEO is an insider, they may continue to think that Apple is solely responsible for the iPhone's success (ignoring the work of other devs and apps), and deserves 30% or more of the revenue from the App Store.
I think arrogance has always been part of their culture – partners have _always_ hated working with Apple. Personally I believe it's the shifting dynamics of no longer being the underdog that slowly has eaten away at their core values.

They went from the company that everyone loves to hate, to the company that everyone just hates.
I'm kind of sad this wasn't about the pastry :(.
Yet they are the only ones with the balls to give us private messaging out if the box.
