Well, not quite.  Objects have stayed at the back of the picture at
Apple, but have never quite gone away.  They are doing most of their
system work now in Object Pascal (with Object C, or C++, or whatever
they're calling it this week, coming up on the outside).  There are
rumblings to the effect that their upcoming versions of the finder
and it's successors will be more object-oriented.  The finder currently
is somewhat that way now, btw:  You bump an object, and it (the 
finder?) looks for something that can deal with the object.

It's got a long way to go, but they are thinking in that direction.
