You have to factor in all the newbies that here all this doom and gloom about the job market in the media, and the last tidbit in the news story usually mentions "but there is a lot of growth in iPhone and Android apps". This is probably causing a lot of people new to programming to learn Objective-C, thus many more questions.

It's funny that people still think there's easy money in mobile apps. The competition is getting tougher and the market more glutted every day.
You want newbies ? go javascript.

I can't believe I'm reading an argument favoring Obj-C over (any flavor of) js as a noob turf...

The simple reason there's disparity is that github is not the center of the world and objC people mostly code for money, that's all there is to it.

I'm not saying newbies get very far with it.
