I believe NeXTStep/OpenStep/GNUStep/Rhapsody advocates would have some
things to say about that... :-) 

Yes, you need to tune some things to the OS architecture, but large
parts of what people usually call an OS (a superset of the
comp. sci. definitions) are application-, presentation- and
session-layer (to map things to the OSI model). These can benefit from
an OO way of thinking - and not only programming.
