But I think it is also at least partially a culture thing. Wanting to make every noun into a class and then going for 3 levels of design patterns, when actually a single function with appropriate types of input arguments and output would be sufficient, if it can be decided on at runtime. Then we run into issues of Java the language, which doesn't let you use the most elementary building block, a function. No, it forces you to put things into classes and that makes people think, that now they want to make objects, instead of merely have a static method. Then they complicate design more and more building on that. A culture of not being familiar with other languages, which emphasize more basic building blocks than classes. A culture of "I can do everything with Java, why learn something else?". A similar culture exists in the C++ world or among C aficionados.
