If batch requests don’t actually change the context they are executed against, why must they always be run in a specific context?
This adds to confusion about concurrency in Core Data because developers may expect tasks executed on a context to actually have some connection to that context.
You will find similar language across Apple Documentation on batch inserts, deletes, and updates:
NSBatchInsertRequest... accesses the store directly without interacting with the context, triggering any key value observation, or loading data into memory.
