What really struck me was the statement: "In total, $580,000 was raised in 2022 The Foundation pays 6 developers to work on PHP" which made me realise how easy it is to take for granted the development and maintenance of these open-source languages and ecosystem as a whole.

Say what you will about PHP, but we all rest on the shoulders of the incalculable effort that goes into the software we use everyday without thinking twice, and is something I'm very grateful for.
