Java ushered in with it, a sort of tunnel vision that class-based inheritance was _the_ fundamental theorem of business programming. When people see prototypal inheritance like in JS, they call it "quirky" or "poorly designed", as if it were haphazardly evolved as opposed to deliberately designed. When languages like Go or Rust came out, it was shocking how many times I saw "where's classes?" come up on the mailing list.
