This is quite brazen and unorthodox of Steve Jobs, and shows why Jobs is such a unique personality; not just in the tech world, but overall. Most people would only want to reveal their good side to the public, especially where their legacy is concerned.
If you only try to paint the good side, there will inevitably attempt to dig deeper and find out what wasn't said. Then you would have no control over what will be said. If you come out up front with it, it's a less sensational thing. Plus, I don't think Steve cares about people saying bad things about him. Plenty of people do it openly already.
