Yes it will matter a lot. Apple is one of the giants standing in the way of right to repair. Being able to say "Apple cofounder is with us" will be a huge convincing point for the general public. The plan is to put the right to repair on the ballot, so public support levels do matter.
Not just the cofounder but the real genius behind all their early products. Jobs was excellent at selling great products, but it was Wozniak who engineered and built them that great.
Unfortunately in this world it's the non technical people who always get more consideration compared to engineers. Bill Gates himself had good hardware/software knowledge having worked with embedded systems for traffic control before MS, yet he is only remembered as former Microsoft chief.
