Very last scene

True, it was subtle, but I think it confirmed that Steve had become very close to Lisa, and even though he was in front of a huge audience he followed his impulse to go to Lisa and perhaps give her a hug. The simplicity of showing his love for her.

Yeah perhaps it was to show that he learned what is most important to him, and nothing is too important than showing long overdue love and respect for his daughter. He wasn't going to run away from the crowd though and go out for an icecream with her though, he was just showing where his heart and mind was in conjunction with his career.

Agree with the other comments. At all the previous launches, he never wanted to be on stage late or have anything or anyone interfere with the message he was going to make. Those were unsuccessful products yet prototypes of his longterm vision. He knew he still had a long way to go. At the end, he was launching the very successful Mac. So finally he was ready and open to being a father. Very odd and unfair way to parent, but one of the choices/sacrifices he made to stay on course with his visions. It was almost as if the computer Lisa and his daughter were on parallel journeys in his mind, and he would only be able to acknowledge the past (Lisa, daughter, Apple II) once he had finally launched a product that met his expectations.
