> OOP is an industry of its own which generates a ton of incidental complexity.
I think you're confusing "OOP is used in projects and I've seen accidental complexity in projects" with "OOP generates accidental complexity".
The truth of the matter is that developers create complexity. It just so happens that the vast majority use OOP.
I challenge you to a) start by stating what you think OOP is, b) present any approach that does not use OOP and does not end up with the same problems, if not worse.
