Being stuck on versions of PHP published >= 8 years ago isn't a valid excuse anymore, with AI and static analysis tools available IMHO. And even if you really don't identify using CVE-ridden, unsupported, ancient software to handle customer data as a critical business risk and insist on riding the burning train instead - well, then you've lost all right to poke fun at the legacy PHP versions you're stuck on, because the pain is entirely self-inflicted by your org.
