I would have thought the same thing, but if you look at a lot of the early app developers, they did come from other platforms. It was easier for an OS X developer, but there were a lot of new people who complained about Objective-C but just got on with it. A lot of early tutorials are really geared to the bigger group of new developers. On a side note, I really do believe the people behind Swift hate Objective-C and a lot of the old complaints are "solved" by Swift.
