It has nothing to do with lock-in. There's nothing stopping people from using Objective C to serve web apps, it's just that no one does it because Objective C is not a pleasant language to work in. People do choose to use Microsoft languages for things other than Windows apps.

Objective-C really is pleasant to use for GUIs. As I noted elsewhere in this thread, I offload everything I can into C++, but between Objective-C and IB, I really enjoy building GUIs in OS X.

Anything else, not so much, but, yeah.
