The thing with OPPs is that they are often system level rather than
related to one specific parrt of the device - one of the reasons people
use them is that they eliminate the needs to think about dynamic
combinations of things and instead pick a suitable configuration off a
relatively short menu.  This makes both validation and runtime easier.
