It's wonderful, but not universally the correct choice in every possible situation.

Well, there could be a highly specialized language (e.g., AWK or RPG) where OO concepts provide little benefit. I still use some procedurally oriented languages and AWK-like utilities when performing complex database conversions.

But I cannot imagine a substantial, traditional application in which OO wouldn't be significantly better than any procedural language. The last contact I had with COBOL was about 17 years ago when I taught it for a couple semesters at a state university. COBOL was essentially dead at that time and there was a lot more interest in the database internals course I was teaching at that time.
