Nothing that forces you, sure. But when you have a culture following that language for so long that encourages that, and have existing 3rd-party libraries and an ecosystem that makes it easier to do that... well, that's what happens.

Not sure about the GP of my original comment, but I'm not trying to be snide; I just see it everywhere, and it really frustrates me. I don't see it with Scala/C++/python/ruby programmers, so what's the common denominator? The language.
