I think you miss the fine point here. Ontological truth =/= Good domain modeling. OP is not arguing against domain modeling, rather a likely common trap of creating an analog of 'the world' (however delimited) as foundation for the model. I know exactly what they mean because I am guilty as charged. I used to do this all the time in mid career.

You should usually also not "model the ocean"
