<p dir="auto">That's fair, I wonder about that sometimes. This specific example is very simple and could have been done with modules and functions.</p>
<p dir="auto">I stick to this practice because, when things grow a bit, I end up wanting a bit more. To hold a bit more of state, or to have the ability to inject options or a dependency for a test or reuse. Things like that, which are a bit easier with classes, avoiding a method with too many arguments. Also Ruby does nudge you in the direction of using classes and I let myself be nudged.</p>
<p dir="auto">By the way, I'm realising that there's something I normally do that I didn't do here: I like putting all this stuff in <code class="notranslate">app/models/</code>! I'm of the opinion that <code class="notranslate">lib/</code> should be used sparingly and all business logic should go in <code class="notranslate">app/models/</code>. But I can live with this for now.</p>
<p dir="auto">(I'm also of the opinion that all ORM classes should be confined to a separate <code class="notranslate">app/records/</code> with names like <code class="notranslate">UserRecord</code>, <code class="notranslate">NodeRecord</code>, etc, but I won't go that far here, and it's not conventional anyway).</p>
