I think the problem is that OOP is automatically considered "virtuous", despite the context. There's nothing wrong with the single responsibility principle and what not, but there is something wrong with thinking that classes and objects are always the best way to approach a problem. Java ends up being the target of jokes because by forcing everything into classes/objects even when it doesn't make sense, it leads to cartooned versions of those ideas.
