PHP is definitely not a meme, it's got a ton of actively developed frameworks, PHP 7 was a huge step forward for the language and PHP 8 is shaping up to be as well.
It's been used at every workplace I've been at, sometimes well, sometimes not so well, just like any language. No idea what the point of blanket statements like this is.
Especially when said statements are just wrong. Anecdotal evidence from individual companies does not allow you to make representative statements about the entire internet...
