The author was a bit poetic in writing this post and most commenters seemed to have missed the point.
When he starts talking about the “hygiene of the programmer”, he is referring to the concept of a “code smell” rather than making literal statements about the literal cleanliness of programmers.
From there, he is saying that the industry has distanced itself from object-oriented programming because it often causes problems and added “smells” to the architecture of code bases. This is regardless of what your specific definition of OO is.
Finally, he ends by raising awareness around the fact that even if people claim to not use much OO in their codebases, when you look at the total architected solution, those various services like Docker and so on are themselves various Gang of Four style OO patterns. Because we talk about OO in code, we are not watching the OO that happens around the code.
