Please also be advised I am not trying to bash Cocoa or Objective-C; I
am simply curious why the designers of same built the language the way
they did.  Understanding theory can sometimes geometrically improve
performance.

  Ominous, but okay. :-)


 My question is, if this is such a necessary thing, why didn't the
designers simply design the compiler to auto-generate setter and getter
functions as per the requisite style in the first place?

  They did. In Objective-C 2.0, released with Leopard.
