Yes, but not a big role in OOP's home court: large systems with long lifespans.

I didn't say that. I said that the low number of reported problems is likely a result of it not having seen much actual combat and coming under heavy enemy fire just yet (namely, large projects, maintenance over many years, some by inexperienced programmers). It's still fresh out of basic training (in comparison to OOP). OOP also seemed almost perfect for quite a few years.
