I think part of the problem isn’t just bad hierarchies, it is that they are so hard to fix.
Bad OOP code gets its fingers everywhere, and tearing out a bad hierarchy can be downright impossible.
Yeah that's a good point. It's telling that inheritance is by design difficult to change unless you follow very specific rules of good OO design patterns.
I guess it's easy to write bad code in any programming paradkgm but inheritance makes it easy to screw up.
