It would be silly, code organization-wise. Major modes should contain 
that support code. And indeed, they do that via 
add-log-current-defun-function or add-log-current-defun-header-regexp. 
objc-mode sets both variables.

It seems to me people simply forgot to remove it after the code was 
factored out.

Around Emacs 20.1, the definition of add-log-current-defun was much 
longer and called this function (named differently back then), among 
many other things.
