A lot of the underlying intuition behind OOP is expressed as "cells exchanging messages like an organism" and such, and I think that implies the distribution of state among a variety of small, special-purpose state-managers. More functional variants of OOP where state is managed centrally are a meaningful shift away from traditional ideas of OOP, and I think calling them both equally OO glosses over that shift a little.
