Sounds more like she is stretched thin, and pointing out how unsustainable the current model is. Only one person dedicated to maintaining a programming language that ~70% of the internet uses is the perfect example of that xkcd “all modern infrastructure, vs one obscure person who has thanklessly been maintaining a project since 1997” meme.
Yes I understand, I should have added a /s to that comment. I even have a version of that cartoon above my desk.

Exactly, that’s the reason I’m always wrong, it’s totally unrelated to the fact I’m an idiot.
70% of the internet? No. The web? Yes, maybe. These are not the same thing.
The usage of PHP in enterprise appliances is actually pretty wild - many firewalls, load balancers etc are using PHP for management plane activities. There is a lot out there outside of userland, and those are the appliances most vulnerable in my opinion. A compromised firewall is worse than a compromised website.
