I understand your point and don't disagree on the whole, but in the end the real world is _not_ object oriented. It's our mental model of it that (if we wish) is object oriented. So, OO could appear natural to people who tend to model the world in the OO way (I'm one of those, that's why probably I like OO). But with this premise, OO can appear natural only to a subset of people.
