The reason that this is necessary is that there were MacOS versions for a while where both the ObjC V1 and ObjC V2 runtimes were available on the same system. And since you could have a C main executable that loaded ObjC code after it was launched, you couldn't a priori tell what ObjC runtime was going to be in force till you saw the runtime actually get loaded. Since you could set an ObjC throw breakpoint, then run the process, we have to delay everything about choosing the actual exception breakpoint and its associated behaviors till after the process was launched. That's also why setting exception breakpoints is a little contorted as well. In the fullness of time we should get an lldb that could debug more than one version of swift in a single lldb, putting us back in this situation again.
