I am not against your rant, your are 100% on point there, but maybe your code without framework has issues you don't know?

I would rant against this forced and meaningless deprecations on Symfony-land but the main issue with PHP, IMHO, is people using it don't grok the language strengths - much in the same direction of your rant. For 5-10 years PHP developers have been trying to "bring" great features from other ecosystems making PHP not to be good on anything anymore.

I feel sad. I liked the "hack 'n slash" programming style it allowed. Now everything (everywhere) needs a package manager, a build system, etc.
