The opposite actually happened to me. PHP was my first non-intern position. That company eventually started working with Java, so I made that transition when they did.
Fascinating. It has been a running joke in my bubble that no one ever picks up PHP voluntarily. It's just everywhere.
I wouldn't overthink it. Learn the languages you like. Learning an OOP language in depth is a good idea, but it doesn't have to be Java. C# or even modern PHP also work fine.
