That's not true. Java was notorious for AbstractFactoryProducerArtifactFactory and awful inheritance-based patterns long before that. You can't dumb down a language and expect the complexity of the problem space to go away (developers will have to cope with it one way or another), and you can't expect the programming language alone to be the sole judge of what's an acceptable level of abstraction (or architects would have been made redundant by now).
