I agree with what you wrote and I am familiar with that saying. PHP to me, professionally, is nothing without Laravel. So as long as Laravel doesn't become more obtuse than it already is, it's all good. I really dislike getters and setters, particularly when they allow async code. Now all the sudden you have a massive performance risk, it's all too typical to see junior devs doing expensive stuff in getters and now the whole application, exponentially, becomes slower. Anything that _may_ involves magic is dangerous in large code bases.
