>The author forced himself to learn archaic Objective C for a completely unnecessary reason, and now is stuck with that design choice despite not having any benefits. It's easy, now, to say that it was a poor choice/premature optimization/unnecessary/whatever. But, presumably, the author is unable to tell the future. At the time when the decision was made, there were benefits that the author deemed necessary (smaller distributable among other benefits).
