This is a really bad argument. The facts that language is
being used by a large companies does not make it well
designed. See PHP, for example - a *horrible* mess of a
language, but it is being used at Facebook.
Small point. "using" != "standadized on". The latter implies
some evaluation and decision making was done prior to the
choice, the former.. well..
(I don't have an opinion on objective C though, as I don't
know the language)
Neither.

I bet the reason why Objective-C was chosen rather than C++ has
more to do with licensing issues (LLVM wasn't rady at the time)
and maybe GC than any other reason.
