I'm trying to wrap my mind around it - and why it made such big news if it had nothing to do with losing the iphone.

If he lost something that important, there was a pretty good chance he was going to lose his job ... and from what I hear (hearsay it is) in some Asian cultures, a man would prefer to kill himself (and some times his family as well) instead of being alive and not being about to take care of himself and/or his loved ones.
EDIT: Nor would he want to live with the disgrace.
I could just be really off base with that...
But I don't think it's Apple's fault, or anyone else's. It comes down to (if it was not cultural) that he could not deal with the pressure and stress of his job. That lead him to misplacing a valuable object and killing himself.
