And yet a lot of this so-called "bad OO" is representative of most of the OO I see written. If something that is bad is the norm, that says something about the paradigm itself, as well.

Bad code is the norm (regardless of paradigm), because it's a profitable industry that rewards entry but not necessarily skill. It's not really a failing of the paradigm that it's applied wrong when that is the norm in all aspects of the practice.

That is not my experience. I see a lot of boring, working, OO code. Nothing that I’d excitedly put on the front of HN as an example of anything, but code that’s reasonably easy to read, and just works day in and day out.
