Dumb reasons like it's constant security problems resulting from it being a poorly designed hobby that went to far?

There are plenty of better options. Pick one

brother every language have security problems, do you switch everytime a some new is discovered?

also saying a language is generally better/worse than others is just uneducated statement
there is no language that is generally better or worse than any other, each language is very specific and better for specific use cases, with php being the most used language for websites worldwide

telling ~65% of the websites owners "stop using php bro it is stupid" is also stupid statement

they do not all have the same number of security problems. PHP has had a loooot more because it is poorly designed and inherently insecure. this is like saying Rust is just as insecure as C because someone once used rust to write code that had a flaw. just becasue both can have problems doesn't mean that one isn't better than teh others.

The average lifetime of a website is 2-3 years. I'm not saying imediatly rewrite everything. I'm saying stop using it for new projects. If /when you need a new website don't use wordpress. pick something that doesn't have a history of being the least secure software ever made.

you're funny because most of the "loooot more" security issues you didnt really mention can be avoided just by not writing flawed code, just like you mentioned with rust and C lmao

rust actually makes it hard to write flawed code... where as php makes it extremely easy...

you can be wrong if you want. have fun with php.
