Seriously, CI is not going to go anywhere except being a niche framework if this mentality of the race to the bottom continues.
Production servers do not jump major versions a few months after release. New servers yes, existing ones won't upgrade. At least I've never seen it happen in the 15y I've been a developer.
It's not a race for the bottom. Namespaces would be a welcome addition, auto-loading is just lazy, callbacks in PHP make me laugh (it will never be async), really I don't understand what you think you're missing.
