Should one be using Object-Oriented Programming when programming in Unity?

Component scripting isn't about Object-Oriented Programming, it's about programming for Unity's design.
Development for Unity is in mostly procedural in nature, not object-oriented.
Unity is Component based. You're working with collections of data with behavior attached.
Components look like objects, but encapsulation and identity protection are not at all part of the architecture.
Trying to force Unity to always adhere to proper OOP standards is not practical, and actually not possible.
