The OP point was that Jobs hated users having access to programming tools and not wanting to ship them with his computers.
The original 1984 Mac on release not having a dev environment was just an example he used to make his point.
But the example can be correct, without making the point valid (as numerous people have answered here).
Especially since the same Jobs had shipped tons of computers with development environments, including things like PBX, XCode, all kinds of scripting languages, the whole NeXT suite of dev tools (that were one of its strong points, and became the later basis for OS X dev tools), and so on.
If the parents point was "at the point of the release of the original Mac in 1984, and only then, Jobs didn't want to give users development environment" he might have a point. But Jobs of the subsequent 20+ years agreeing to ship development tools just fine, makes the point moot.
can't you see how wrong his point is and how irrelevant the example?
