Could it be the language and framework determines the industry and planning/release cadence too?

I’ve worked in Java most of my career and anecdotally the Java projects were the most well run and unexciting.

The PHP/Laravel and JavaScript projects by contrast were on almost unreasonably tight deadlines, somewhat chaotic (the PHP ones anyways) and high stress.

Doubt it. For many years now I've had really great PHP/Laravel jobs.
