That's mixing up properties, ownership and state. Those are very different concepts.

Indeed. Whether you use OO or state machines depends on the architecture of your problem. There is unlikely to be a one-size fits all solution to every class of problem.

State machines are used extensively by HDL hardware design tools, and are easier to debug.
