It depends on what you mean by elitism. Languages are not undifferentiated, it is perfectly possible to talk about some languages being "better" than other languages, especially when you are talking about specific tasks.
The parent doesn't make any reference to PHP programmers, and doesn't appear to be looking down on any person or class of people, so this doesn't seem to be the embarrassing brand of elitism.
There are precious few good reasons to use PHP in 2021, a world of much better languages with much stronger ecosystems than the world of two decades ago when PHP was a reasonable choice.
