This is a smart decision for two reasons.
a) It gets Steve home to "rest" and hopefully return to health
b) It allows Apple a trial run at being a business w/o Steve (granted he is still making major decisions) at the top. I sudden loss of Steve would no doubt hurt Apple by sudden decrease in stock value and huge questions over whether it could even move forward without Steve. By Steve stepping away now, yet still maintaining final authority, it makes such a drastic change in leadership less of an issue down the road should the even we all fear is the loss of Steve at Apple. (regardless of his alive status).
