I don't agree with that either. You don't need polymorphism for OOP. It's
quite restricted without it, but you can still program with objects even if
you're restricted to something like D's structs, so you're still doing OOP.

No. That is glorified procedural style. 'Objects' as in 'OOP' carry data
and _behavior_, structs don't (except if you give them some function
pointers, but that is just implementing poor man's polymorphism.)
Having some kind of dynamic execution model is a requirement for OOP.
There are no two ways about it.
