It was just recently that C++ got some underpowered kind of generics (beyond templates). So, no, I don't think anybody advocated that in the 90's.
Late 90's advocacy was much more on the lines of "OOP lets you reuse code" and "widget libraries are great, and they all but require OOP". One of those is blatantly correct.
