Inheritance isn’t an anti-pattern in academia. I do part time work as an examiners for CS students, and I see their car/animal examples everywhere in introductionary courses.

When we have interns, they’ll sometimes build things with inheritance. So it’s certainly still a thing.

I’ve yet to see a real world use of it, where you wouldn’t have been better of not using it though. My real world is the relatively boring world of enterprise public sector software, however, and maybe I’m simply oblivious to where inheritance might be worthwhile.
