I do now by accident. But it's a good example. Old projects in a big company started of as simple prototypes that were quickly adopted or accepted because they had a good purpose for efficiency of employees working on various things. As things move slow in big companies they were never properly adapted to production grade so it stuck since about 2015 or earlier. Now there's an effort made today to move them to other tech stack but it's incredibly hard to do so as there's too much to replace. This is why not a single technology can be replaced as easily but might be poorly moved to different platforms. Sometimes maybe even moved in quite a good way. But that all said it's mainly due to politics in the company on how much resources (as in time, money, and human) will be allocated and will it be possible to make it good. Doesn't really matter which language rather than how it was implemented in the start. My situation is that prototype that doesn't use any framework is just too hard to refactor so we're rewriting hopefully into different stack as most of us dislike PHP and dynamically typed languages. A matter of "taste" rather than tech properties
