Answer
Leads to less modular and harder-to-maintain code.
Without instance methods, code may rely on external functions that manipulate object state, increasing the risk of errors and making maintenance challenging. For example, calculating a line total outside a `CartItem` class could lead to inconsistent results if the logic is not centralized.
