Am I wrong?

I have to disagree with this - there are situations where an API choice
is forced on you by politics (like CA requiring an NSView),


That's just plain not correct.

CA is built on top of CoreImage, and does not require NSView.

CoreImage uses a whole lot of things Cocoa-ness, such as KVO, but it isn't dependant on NSView either - you could use CI in a Carbon app if you wanted, since it can render in a CGContextRef or CGLContextObj, or render to a CGImageRef or CGLayerRef. I wouldn't be surprised if you could put CA inside an HIView as well.

Using Objective-C is just the fastest and easiest way for Apple to develop and deliver these technologies - it's not done to spite Carbon developers.
