Seems like a stretch. Ruby's whole mantra is about offering a very flexible and forgiving syntax. Matz wants to make programmers happy. The whole language is candy. You get powerful tools to make your own candy. It's extremely sweet. For some people, it's too sweet, which is understandable.
PHP is not that.
You may have a point if you're limiting the conversation to people who use OOTB Laravel or Rails to build basic CRUD apps. I'd argue Ruby is a much richer language for those who explore it beyond Rails.
