software design approaches are frequently closely tied to programming paradigms, and DDD (while, like Object Oriented Analysis and Design, it can be used with any paradigm) is closely associated with OOP, and at least the early writing on it (if there is any newer that this isn't true of, I haven't seen it) is very tightly coupled with OOP.

Yes, it was a related observation, not a refutation.
