The problem domain that is naturally expressed in terms of OOP is GUI development (windows, toolbars, buttons, forms, and so on). The tendency to entangle the actual problem you're trying to solve with the problem of developing a user interface for your solution seems to be the main driver of the growth and extension of OOP languages over the past several decades. Various patterns (MVC, MVVC, etc.) for disentangling these while still using the same programming language have become popular, as have multi-paradigm / mixed-paradigm languages. Perhaps what was needed instead were multilingual programs, which is sort of where we ended up anyway, in an ad hoc manner (eg. HTML+CSS+JS+SQL+Python, etc.).
