Alan Kay is generally credited with coming up with the term "object-oriented", so for better or for worse, many people defer to his definition and his embodiment of ideas when looking for a strict definition of the term.

Honestly, though, that’s like crediting William Burroughs with Blade Runner.

I consider the definition e.g. used by IEEE as sufficiently strict, see e.g. https://ethw.org/Milestones:Object-Oriented_Programming,_196..., but - as you say - it's not the defintion used by Kay.
