Why can't OO tools be deferred both in time and space to be considered
later and partitioned into a small segment of the code?

They can, but only if you have decided to write the bulk of the application code in the DB language. And if you have done that, then you have really made your decision about the application language early. And that was my point. You can't defer the decision about the application language for very long. You CAN defer the database decision, sometimes for a very long time indeed.
