It's definitely not just you. Elixir and other functional languages are preferred by many, including myself, for this exact reason. I simply do not see any pros to traditional OO languages and functional languages like clojure (maybe elixir too, I haven't had a chance to study it in depth) include polymorphism, one of the few good OO ideas. Maybe it's just me, but after two and a half decades of OO, I expect it to make sense and it still doesn't in any meaningful way. That's one of the many reasons functional languages are attractive.
