Riffing on this a bit. Consider two things. Firstly, that OOP is "the kingdom of nouns"[1]. Secondly, consider mapping the human language space to the programming language space.
It's difficult until you also consider conlangs like Kēlen[2] which also attempt to build a kingdom of nouns. OOP is a hammer that makes everything a nail for the same reason Kēlen is a conlang rather than a humlang. There is a certain element of hoop-jumping that takes place when a language doesn't have the grammar to express things naturally.
