No, because that has been the case since NeXTSTEP times,
long before QuickTime arrived in Cocoa. I suppose it was
because it used Display Postscript, ie the Window Server.
So, yes, unfortunately, if you want to do image processing
in a tool, or a web server app, or anything not-AppKit, you
cannot use NSImage. Same thing for NSSound, NSFont, and
NSAttributedString.
