Isn't this exactly the reason people say PHP is awful, though? Hidden pitfalls if you just do what works and aren't security conscious, and too much flexibility instead of one clean standard. And at the end of the day, putting blame on rookie users who keep wandering onto the busy street and get run over by a bus.

At this point there is no reason sane network security shouldn't be baked into popular Linux OSes (except that the cloud is busy abstracting the problem away). Sure, real sysadmins can have the keys to the gun safe, but these are structural problems that could and should be mitigated through modernizing OS design.
