I think PHP is a really good language: good community, lots of libraries, conventions and frameworks are very matures.
In my company, we were using PHP as our main language since 2016 but we are now facing issues to recruit for this specific language.
In France, a lot of CS study are now teaching NodeJS, Java or C/C++ but PHP got abandonned... This means PHP developers will be more rare in the future.
This is why a startup like mine is now migrating from PHP to NodeJS.
Is PHP is dying out? I don't think so, PHP still powers a lot of website but eventually it will be less and less used.
I see in other countries the same mindset. And at the same stage companies migrating to another languages to run away from PHP.
And the truth, I believe, just a few really assessing the right tech for their projects (even with PHP)

Interesting - so it's a sort of spiral due to lack of training leading to lack of demand. A shame, but maybe it'll change again in the future
