I’m not sure you understand normalization. A consistent schema is the product of proper normalization, not the other way around.
Normalization is a logical process, part of database design. It’s not a by-product of a schema or design pattern, nor is it an implementation detail.
OO is ultimately based on pointers, even when hidden as inheritance, or called something else (references, composition). That form of organizing data is not relational pretty much by definition. You can’t” just do that [normalization] with OO patterns.” I’m not even sure what that means.
