As I remember, when KVO was introduced, it was framed as a bottleneck for
implementing bindings. Foundation exposed it as a courtesy to developers who
would find it useful in itself.
Cocoa practice has changed since then, but that’s what I gathered at the time.
You’re right, KVC was NeXTStep. The patent on it was one of NS/Apple’s crown
jewels.
