I think the division isn't Core Graphics vs. Foundation (or, more generally, one framework vs. another). I think it's between legacy and new APIs. It seems fairly clear to me that Apple has adopted a convention that new APIs should be centered around a type, and that names within such an API are to start with the name of the type.
I for one really love this naming scheme and wish it was consistent across all frameworks. So many times I've forgotten an identifier that was immune to discovery via autocomplete, eg: NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding. Sure you can look it up in the documentation/headers, but it's a diversion. It's too bad we have all the legacy stuff.
