Probably because nobody ever cared enough to file an enhancement request, and it didn't occur to us that writing 1 line of code to call filteredArrayWithPredicate was so troublesome.

Calling -filteredArrayWithPredicate is no hassle, but for a large predicate, it has the bad performance of comparing a bunch of the persistent properties all over again, despite already knowing they'll match the predicate. Since I assume Core Data must do some kind of internal splitting up of the predicate in order to perform its fetch, I'd have thought it is in a good position to know what the remaining transient portion of the predicate is.

I haven't filed a radar I admit as this hadn't become a issue for me yet, but may well do.
