>Consider web frameworks. Given a choice I select React and similar functional frameworks than OOP based ones. They are just more productive and scale better.

That's because there are no decent OO based web UIs, because the web development experience and stack is a total mess to begin with.

The web UI objects, with their collection of global namespaces for IDs, Classes, JavaScript functions, etc., are aggressively resistant to compontentization.

You can see the disastrous implications of this feature with the ID mangling needed for Asp.net webforms, and the utterly miserable workflow that creates.

ASP.Net Web Controls was an attempt at bringing the desktop technologies like MFC to the web, and it was a horrible horrible idea.

The worst part is that everything else about the original ASP.Net was mostly really good ... but Web Controls completely destroyed it's reputation.
