Yes because you don't have to inheritance "all the things".

I am suspicious any time I see inheritance in my C# code base. It's rarely needed and causes a lot of pain when used extensively. I'm looking at you Credit Note and Invoice!

The antithesis is when inheritance should be used but isn't. Inexperienced programmers tend to ideological extremes in either camp.

Inheritance is a way of relating two or more pieces of code; it's a programming abstraction. If you try to apply it to the problem domain, by "modeling" things, for example, you're in for a bad time.
