Was anyone else surprised to see Kbin being written in PHP? (self.programming)

I don't know if it's due to over-exposure to programming memes but I certainly believed that no one was starting new PHP projects in 2023 (or 2020, or 2018, or 2012...). I was under the impression we only still discussed it at all because WordPress is still around.

Would a PHP evangelist like to disabuse me of my notions and make an argument for using PHP for projects such as Kbin in this day and age?

Thank you for the detailed response and don't worry: you don't have to pull punches on Python on my account ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm a former Django dev and I have no intention of working with Python ever again. I see why it's so popular for data analysis etc.: it's a phenomenal language for non-programmers.
