Misuse of inheritance is often the biggest generator of criticism of inheritance, sadly.

People use the wrong tool for the job, or use it incorrectly, and then blame the tool. It's like using a hammer to play drums, obliterating the drum set, then ranting against hammers.

OOP is a tool that causes people to hang themselves with it by design. The only way to avoid misusing it is to be to the future to see the impact of every single decision involving it to make only the ones that do not cause problems.
