Another reason is that sleep(0.1); is silently accepted now (even with strict types enabled),
That appears to not be true: https://3v4l.org/7YbqX
corrected, should be "without strict types enabled" -

"even with strict type enabled" statement in BC section remains valid
Having a function that behaves differently based on different platforms is a bad idea.
I will implement fallback to usleep. I have not noticed any issues with
usleep availability. Is there any known platform without nanosleep
neither usleep support?

From the PR.
Implemented using nanosleep which is not guaranteed to be available everywhere.
Please just use usleep if you need more accuracy than seconds.

platforms is a bad idea.
Changing a function to have surprising behaviour just to avoid using a
different function, that is already available, is a really bad
tradeoff.
