I can’t speak for other ObjC devs back when the iPhone SDK was released; but I remember just being so grateful that I had any tooling to develop for iOS that I was more than happy to overlook any ObjC weirdness/clunkiness.
ObjC is very simple (often confused with archaic), but also wildly complex. Once you wrap your head around the ObjC way of doing things, everything makes sense, is very consistent, and you could develop very effectively.
