That is simply not true. Full stop. There is nothing in Cocoa that
prevents cross-platform applications. I have personally worked on
large cross-platform applications that had a Cocoa interface on the
Mac (and Next before that), writing the interface in Carbon would have
been no easier. In both cases, I'd have been working with a
platform-specific API for the interface layer, and standard C++ for
the business layers.

Carbon binds itself to C, Cocoa binds itself to Objective-C. There is
nothing that you can do in C that you cannot do in Objective-C, as it
is a proper superset, *every* C program is also an Objective-C
program.
