Surprisingly (actually not) lack of functors makes the language completely different.

Indeed, I agree with you.

Object-orientation support on OCaml also sets it far apart from SML, for instance. Which can lead to a lengthy discussion, but that's beside the point.

This reasoning, however, is exactly my point: depending on where emphasis is placed, they can be argued to be similar or completely different languages.
