I think the main problem is that people try to shoehorn OOP mechanics into everything, leading to code that is hard to understand.
Not to mention that this is basically encouraged by companies as well, to look “futuristic”.
A great example of this approach going horribly wrong is FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition.
OOP can be great to abstract complex concepts into a more human readable format, especially when it comes to states.
But overall it should be used rarely, as it creates a giant code overhead, and only as far as actually needed.
Oh no, the FizzBuzz EE has evolved since I’ve last viewed it! 😱 Is it bad if it actually reminds me of my current work project’s backend (that I haven’t written) a bit?
I got as far as seeing they chose Java and opening the constants file, and immediately executed a strategic withdrawal. I love that people went to this level of detail

Man thanks for sharing the fizz buzz link.
