Steve has not changed his either.

I'm wondering whether it's a branding policy - they trying to demonstrate consistency and a strong team.

It is interesting, I have not really thought about this before, just accepted it. Imagine either of them in a Polo plaid shirt or a Bill Gates mauve sweater, it seems wrong.

I'm pretty sure that's the point though.

Funny. I'd like to watch all of those videos, is that at all possible?

You could do the same thing with Steve Jobs or Dean Kamen.
You save a lot of time if you don't have to worry about what to wear, so they find something they like and buy enough to wear every day.
You can also see this practice used by many cartoon characters.
I once read somewhere that Einstein had rows of the same sweaters and pants in his closet so he wouldn't waste precious thought on deciding what to wear in the morning.
The character Seth Brundle said it in the film The Fly, maybe Jobs and Johnny are fans of the film? :)
I do this. I have two wardrobes: fun and work
Work has:
slim fitting solid pattern collared shirts (polo and button-ups in both long and short sleeve.)
fitted jeans (no fade, no distress) and dress pants. Suits for major events.
ties narrow ties that are colourful. occasionally I wear scarves and ascots instead of ties.
jackets (sport coats, leather, functional jackets)
black shoes and black belts
Fun has:
tees and other shirts
denim that has gotten too worn for work.
hooded sweat shirts etc
kilts and sarongs (I hate shorts.)
random shoes and boots
various belts
It is quite easy to buy fun stuff but it is super-hard to get tasteful fitted casual cross dressy work clothes.
You're a bit of a hipster aren't you?
No, I couldn't describe myself as that. I am a too old and definitely not interested in looking like a hipster.
I designed my wardrobe in a modular way so that I can simply switch accessories to get a different look.
There is piles of things you can do with a simple black button-up shirt and a pair of jeans. In this example, I just grabbed some of the accessories that I had available. Keep in mind that I can also switch pants, shirts, and shoes as well as switch and add accessories (jackets, scarves, ties, ascots, cufflinks, watches, belt buckles, glasses, facial hair, pocket squares, etc.)
The big benefit is that you only have to replace accessories to make your clothes look more modern. So the black shirt that you see in the photos probably won't need replacement due to style for a long time. I had a basic white button up shirt that I decided to retire that I wore for eight years. The trick is to avoid the poorly-made clothing and clothing that shows it's vintage.
I seem to attract compliments regularly about my professional appearance, so I must be doing something right.
