There have been a lot of redefinitions of what "object-oriented" actually means over the years, but it was inevitable that there would be strong reactions against fin-de-siècle habits of class hierarchies and encapsulation of I/O deep in the bowels of many-layered objects.

OOP didn't go across a lot of redefinition of what OO actually means, it 
went just through different cults.
That's not just peculiar of OOP.

To get popular techniques have to be sold. And in every sale there are
