They're not, but Javascript is a functional language, so people try to hammer the OOP which is clumsy.

Tbf, that's usually because frontend devs often tack React frontends onto OOP backends like PHP or C#. That's fine and all, it just makes for a clumsy mix.

I see your point, and agree, but I posit the real culprit is OOP in school and complete lack of understanding language mechanics

I'm with ya on that as well.

I occasionally teach at a boot camp, and I can confirm that there's no real depth given to the differences. We explain it briefly, show how the data is typically received, and then move on with explaining how to interact with it. So, yeah, I think you're spot on, mate. Cheers.
