Because that's not Objective-C? (This is not a rhetorical question.)
I'm not an Objective-C expert, but to my eye, that doesn't look like
Objective-C. It looks like plain old regular C.
Here's where I stole the code from:
https://www.binpress.com/tutorial/objectivec-lesson-1-hello-world/41
and its not too dissimilar from the versions here:
