The PHP CVS were originally reported as perfect 10s and in theory allow remote access (practically all of the internet). This requires physical hardware access (practically 0 of the internet).
Those original PHP 10s were negotiated down into a 9.2 by disclosure.. so maybe this'll be an 8.7 soon.
Well because some php configurations had an absurdly low default max upload size, which made the rce way harder. Plesk for example ships with 2m for some reason.
