Well, while he may work for an American company, he's still doing work that raises the profile of and promotes British engineering. Every iMac, iPhone, iPad, & iPod in the world is a little bit of the spirit of Isambard Kingdom Brunel alive & thriving in the modern world. So I'd say he deserves it.
Not like - say - the investment banker who made a fortune from the collapse of HSBC, but is buddies with Prime Minister David Cameron... *cough*nepotism*cough* 
For my purposes as an engineering undergraduate; Windows is respectable (& generally necessary), Linux is admirable (& often useful), OS X is enjoyable (& requires no further justification, although plenty could be given)!
