I think that for many people, "object-oriented" has become a
content-free buzzphrase, much like "structured" had by 1975 (or at the
lastest 1980).  Both have connotations of "good, warm, fuzzy" or more
specifically, "approved of by me".  So "O-O OSs are better" just means
"I like O-O OSs"; take with as many tons of salt as necessary.
