If you want to check some modern PHP code, you can check some pieces of mine (this project in particular could have a little cleaner code, but I think it demonstrates well what modern PHP can look like):
Your examples are ironically a great showcase of what I hate about PHP. Java-style object-obsessed programming with long names, piles of design patterns and dozens of imports, along with C-style syntax and dollars before variable names.
Java-style object-obsessed programming with long names
I mean, unlike Java, you can do procedural or functional (the support is getting better but I wouldn’t call php the best language for functional). I personally love object-oriented design because it’s the best (IMO) for large projects.
C-style syntax
That’s a feature in my book, I almost exclusively write code in C-style languages and it’s really easy switching between them. The only exception for me being Go.
dollars before variable names
That’s just such a minor detail to hate language over. I like them (probably because PHP was my first language so I got used to them), but I don’t quite care when I’m switching between languages.
