There's just no way that you're at all familiar with PHP of the last 10 years to think this is true.

Prove it. Please, show me the context and environment you think PHP would struggle to serve "hundreds of requests per second". I'd venture a bet that a plain Laravel installation on the cheapest digital ocean droplet would top this and Laravel is "slow" in relation to vanilla PHP.
