Stuff like argument parsing is left to frameworks. Laravel’s Artisan command system has all sorts of built-in functionality for exactly that.

I don't want to install Laravel for cli apps. For that most devs use symphony

Installing laravel for cli is like buying thread ripper to run minesweeper.

Use whatever framework you like; the point is PHP leaves it largely up to them.
