There's a difference between learning to use object-oriented systems and learning to design and implement them.

This code snippet posted does not implement a new class. In a language like Python, you can code for years relying on objects without ever implementing a single class of your own. As a programmer, deciding when to switch from writing procedures and functions to writing classes and methods can be a tricky design call. The OP's argument is focused on this issue, not the simple matter of using OO APIs or frameworks.
