Absolutely. I handle a lot of the devops work at my job and PHP containers are just all around more annoying to build, configure and run than most other languages. Even on modern frameworks like Laravel still have a lot of default assumptions of being hosted on a server all by themselves.

It's weird how a language that gained so much traction for being the easy language to host has become one of the harder ones to deploy in the modern era.

It is fairly simple to host, as long as you run on a single machine. (Host volume mount in Docker for eg).
