What else would you use to power the configuration gui frontend? Allow me to eliminate some of the obvious and inevitable answers:

- Rust didn't exist at the time

- Go didn't exist at the time

- nodejs didn't exist at the time

- Java and Python likely used too much resources for a once-in-a-while used GUI

Irrational hatred aside, that's literally what PHP was designed for.
