OOP and business
In a software business, the functionality is an asset, but code is a liability. The less code needs your attention, less costs and risks you have.
OOP is all about making stuff work, packaging it into an object with as small interface as possible, and building other stuff around without going back and tinkering with that package. Note to Java people: it does _not_ mean the object should fit everything. It should fit at least a single task and be reliable at that task. The point is in reliability, not reusability.
This concept is called “incapsulation”. It is not the way to make the code nice. It is the way to minimize your costs and risks and finally ship.
