You have exactly the same issue with any paradigm. I am seeing it now with functional programming as people go all obsessive into converting everything into it.

And I'd argue than in both cases trying to use a paradigm for literally everything is a good thing, at least in terms of learning and understanding that paradigm.

Is OO good for everything? No. Is FP good for everything? No. And yet, unless you've attempted to use them for everything, you're unlikely to understand why they ain't good for everything.
