If I show a person on the street a Fuji apple and a Honeycrisp and ask if they're approximately the same, they're going to say yes even if they're labeled.

Php has had a strict equals operator for decades. You not using it is not a language fault.

For the second point: I doubt you'll fine any language where you can just do an equals comparison on floats and it works as expected. That's the nature of floating point numbers.
