Let's assume this is all true (although I wouldn't say it's particularly modern, and I don't know about some of the rest). And let's forget that some of these adjectives are relative or subjective.
Even under that assumption - there are other programming languages which meet these criteria. Why would we prefer Object Pascal over them? Especially when it has existed for many years and not gotten a lot of traction?

But if Pascal fits the way your brain works, then it does. So use it. And if it doesn't fit the way your brain works, then don't. People are different. It doesn't hurt to have different tools.
