The example is good and I am really glad that you made the effort to give a concrete example. Yet, I'm worried what people might take away from this is "I should introduce class hierarchies and interfaces and factories for everything" when this is really just one way of solving the more fundamental problems which are separation of concerns and managing coupling and cohesion.
