Agreed. Objects for everything results in code that is riddled with hidden mutable state and side-effects (state is not encapsulated). It's impossible to reason globally about such systems, even before threads are added. Objects can be used as a reasonable module system, which is why many still advocate them, although IMHO better module systems do exist (e.g. in OCaml).
