B. Functions and structs.
OP complained about accidental complexity, not subjective takes on how hard it is to refactor code.
Even so, anyone who has any cursory experience with TypeScript projects that follow a functional style can tell you without any doubt whatsoever that functional style is incomparably harder to refactor than any "enterprise-grade" OOP.
I see you opt to go with a huge amount of handwaving over the question.
> Functions and structs.
That's what a class is, and thus OOP, except it supports information hiding and interfaces. So your alternative to OOP is... OOP?
Compare e.g. to "What should a language have instead of Lua-like tables? Maps and vectors" — "But that's what a table is, so your alternative to tables is... tables?"
>> A. OOP as practically implemented for the last 25 years is glueing functions to state

I think the question was answered pretty clearly. You can't ask for an opinion ( "what do you think" ) and then criticize the response as 'hand-waving'.
