NextStep adopted it but did not invent it. Once Apple acquired NextStep and released OS X they were the only major company supporting it and had defacto control over the language.
The complaint I have is with NSObject which can be blamed on Next Step. Although another comment pointed out I just didn’t know about a workaround.
