Software developers have been rewriting legacy codebases since forever. My early career was spent bouncing in and out of projects that the customer deemed in need of a rewrite. If it was perl, it needed to be replaced with Java. When it was Java, it had to be replaced by Ruby. And now all the Ruby needs to be replaced with JS. Now that we are stuck with JS, devs are just finding new reasons to rewrite stuff. PHP projects never seemed in need of a rewrite.
