It's just that it's an ugly and weak language, overly verbose, and riddled with inconsistencies. There are few good things you can do in PHP without huge frameworks.
You're comparing to only JavaScript, have you worked with another language like python, ruby, lisp, rust? Maybe then you'd see what I mean.
By verbose I mean that mostly PHP lacks syntactic sugar, mostly it lacks powerful features of other languages. You can mostly write very simple procedural code.
Type hints and comprehensions as in Python, borrow checker, traits, code interface checking in Rust. Most functional features.
IDK; I just don't like anything about PHP and I have worked with it. It seems bad at every task.
