Absolutely right that Harvey is not in the category of a Jobs or Wintour or Oppenheimer. They were all certainly tyrants at times but they were the singular focus type, using their power and ability to manipulate others in service of being the best or first or the greatest (it doesn’t at all excuse them) but Harvey is a predator through and through (Auletta’s book tracks instances of his predatory behavior back to Harvey as a kid, so it’s not something that started because of his fame and power) and he sought the status and power simply to abet his predation and alibi him from the consequences.
