I think you're being oversensitive about PHP.

Wordpress, and by extension, its predictably-named settings file, is an easy search-target because it's very popular among novice/new developers.

I'm just tired of seeing the same search on github for PHP config files.

So does every other popular application and framework on the planet. This isn't something specific to wordpress - we can play this game all day with different applications, frameworks, and languages.

Not to mention that a knock on Wordpress isn't necessarily a knock on PHP, since many non-developers (or companies that do zero dev in PHP) install Wordpress.
