Nope, and there are many reasons why other languages keep going up in popularity while PHP is stagnating,
and used mainly by developers stuck on WordPress, or don't know/want to learn anything else.

Which is why companies should have more seasoned developers making the important decisions, while of course contemplating what the new but well-established technologies can offer. React is no longer a hype-only thing, it's a well-established technology that is here to stay and is used by a lot of companies. Same goes for Angular, Vue, etc.
You choosning `randomframework` for an enterprise project that shouldn't need to be rewritten or replaced in the next 5-10 years is a bad decision, and it's not the fault of the technology, but of the decision-makers.

So... like Java has Spring and Jakarta EE (among others), Python has Django and Flask, .NET has ASP.NET Core, and so on. Yet many minoritary frameworks exist for every language, including PHP (CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Zend, Slim, etc). However, mostly in PHP you see people reinventing the wheel building frameworks/abstractions on top of PHP itself for their own projects, instead of using a well-known framework.

You mean in a similar fashion than about Python (new version of python 3.x every year around October), Java (two versions per year, february and september, with LTS every 3 years) or .NET (new version every november, every two years being LTS)?
