How much life is still in this framework after rails, python and SPA/node revolution?

Doesn't seem very popular on gitub. I thought Zend is much older.

Zend ~13 years old (1,878 stars)
Sinatra ~12 years old (10,504 stars)
Flask ~10 years old (43,390 stars)
Express.js ~9 years old (43,370 stars)

PS: Laravel ~7 years old (16,963 stars)

I don't understand why Linux Foundation wants to maintain it.

Apache Foundation-alike move? Plus rebranding to try to gain some fresh traffic.

Is Zend still a thing?
My career as a professional PHP developer has fortunately been behind me for a few years now. But even back then most serious applications were built on top of Symfony or CMS like Joomla or Drupal. The only exception I could spontaneously think of was Magento.

Why though?

Never got into Zend, Laravel is THE thing today
