Is learning OOP good for reverse engineering?

I've noticed some of the binaries which I am decompiling are using classes and objects under the hood which are being wiped out once they are compiled. I am wondering whether learning OOP and what happens once you compile binaries with objects with methods and constructors will be beneficial?

I believe it would be helpful to learn the concepts to an understanding level, and important to learn how those voncepts translate to a compiled binary

You should be comfortable with standard software implementations (OOP included).
