I accept it mentions that in the content, I guess its the title I find misleading. You can see on this very HN thread, lots of confused replies are falsely equating those features as new developments.
My simple point is that PHP has been "mature", in OOP terms anyway, for at least 10 years now, so the original author tying that milestone to PHP 7.4 seems weird and outdated to me.
This meme of people on HN judging articles entirely on their title really needs to die.

You keep saying that and I keep replying that nobody was ever arguing otherwise.

Again, they wasn't. You just assumed they did; presumably because you just read the title and the pre block and skipped over all the rest of the content.
