I don't look at them for one reason, to me the great thing of PHP is the fact that is super easy and fast to add some dynamic generation to a mostly static website. By using a framework I can as well go to Next.js, for example. The thing is that PHP is unbeatable for doing simple stuff, for example a simple contact form in a website, or a page where you have to book slots, and similar stuff like that, since you add a few PHP instruction to the site, upload it to a webserver, enable PHP that is super easy to install, and done. Need to do a modification? You can connect through SSH to the server and edit the PHP files in /var/www with vim, no need to compile, have a build system, restart services, nothing like that!
