Class is *the* unit of encapsulation by any reasonable definition 
of class-based OOP. You don't create objects of modules (though 
modules can be viewed as singleton objects). You can argue about 
the mechanism of sharing the state between objects of different 
classes, but forcing the programmer to group classes together and 
share the entirety of their state is not the greatest of options.
