I provided an explanation in my earlier messages.

That is not accurate. PHP already has a significant amount of
async-style code in the ecosystem: Amphp, ReactPHP, Swoole, Swow, and
multiple async HTTP clients, database drivers, and event-loop
libraries. The ecosystem is not “almost zero”; it’s simply fragmented
across several implementations.
