From a marketing POV, what most people want is NOT more OOP in
PHP, but actually a hostable Java.
PHP is everywhere and pretty much free, when it comes to webspace
hosting. Java usually isn't, because it has certain requirements
for its execution environment that cannot be met in cheap
hosting environments.
So when users ask for "more OO" in PHP, they usually want Java
and Java capabilities for the price of their current PHP site,
and a migration path towards this. Since there is no such thing,
they end up trying to turn PHP into Java.
