CL's functionality is an amalgamation of the prior Lisps (thus "Common") which didn't have CLOS. But it was CLOS-ifying a variety of things by the time of the 1994 standard. You just don't see more because the immediate goal was a large degree of compatibility with those prior Lisps. If a second standard had developed a larger portion of the system would probably have been brought under CLOS.
