Well, I don't think we do.

Functions are just mappings of values to values, they may be opaque,
but they're predictable, unchanging, and just...too boring to be
antropomorphized.

Objects contain all kinds of hidden state and dependencies, and the
sheer unpredicatability of it all is the reason for the
anthropomorphics - it a symptom of a disease, not a desirable
quality.
