Strict encapsulation and in this respect getters/setters might not be necessary whenever there is no intention to reuse or publish code, in my opinion. Additionally some of those OOP-techniques (in terms of maintainability) may not fit in with a high performance goal, e.g. when building a real time graphics engine.
Though, sometimes it may just be bad style. ;)
