Why didn't Apple design struct data types like this?


The better question is why would they do that?

Is it because when ever you see the parameter type (NSFoo *) you should think object and when ever you see the parameter type (NSBar) you should think struct?

No, since * here means the return type is a pointer. It would make no sense for NSView to return a pointer to an internal memory structure.
