Or because people had bad experiences with it. Like hosting software built in PHP, which seems to have uniquely terrible hosting mechanics and version and dependency management.

    Or really isn't. At least not for the last 15 or so years

    "Isn't" what? If you're referring to the hosting experience, I'm talking based on experience setting up some PHP software from the last year or two. Unless you just slap docker on it, it seems to be a pain getting php running, it might want a very specific version (extra pain to get that specific version running), and I remember dependency management giving me trouble, possibly also being weird with the older version of PHP.

    *It really isn't

    every project I set up in the last 10 or 15 years was just "composer install" and done. (plus whatever configuration like DB etc you need)

    Sure, might need to check what minimum version you need, but backwards compatibility is pretty good, so along a major version you can often just pick the latest

    I don't know what weird projects you checked out, but that might just be on them instead of the language
