There's been a trend against overuse of inheritance, first with java removing multiple-inheritance and the various private/protected nuanced inheritances, then generally accepted advice like 'prefer composition over inheritance'. Some people were still feeling the pain, and some of those are now using clojure partly because of it. With the whole 'decomplecting' philosophy, we have a way to talk about why it's so.
I can just speak for myself, but finding someone defending it here is surprising. Also, clojure does have at least as many OOP trimmings as java, it's just made it easier to avoid them. When you say 'non-OOP languages that don't have classes', I don't think that includes clojure. It is a java underbelly by design, and java doesn't have open classes. Clojurescript gains some freedom via javascript's dynamic behavior, but the same abstractions (protocols) are applicable and useful there.
