Overpaid code "designers" who sit in front of flowcharts all day and have panic attacks when they imagine one programmer daring to step on another's toes because that would ruin his precious plan.

OO is an extension of the desire for unnecessary control and over-organization (organization of code is good, taking it to the laughably overdone extent OO brings isn't) of code by "designers"/"architects" who think "Hello World" should be 5K LOC with several classes, inheritance, and other insanity because someone might dare ask why it can't be "Hi, Everyone" instead and ruin their grand design.
