Because we know these raw tests are bullshit since it's almost trivial to set up the frameworks and the infrastructure to make it perform perfectly fine.

And because of the share-nothing architecture it scales like a mofo before we have to start jumping through hoops (and 99% of us never reach that scale).

The lack of raw speed is a minor inconvenience that's easily fixed in practice.

Also, I doubt big PHP frameworks are the only ones with a disadvantage that only shows up in these kind of benchmarks. It's like testing cars solely for straight line speed.
