This is a direct consequence of the language having settings that cause the same code to be interpreted (and works perfectly fine) in one environment
and be displayed in other (without any warning). This is not the same as a typo in HTML tag or logical error in code. This is literally a tool for
shooting yourself in the foot - it exists, but no one should use it.

And it is still really easy to use it by accident. For example, this is what PhpStorm generates when you try to inline-comment tag with short echo:

<?//= 'test' ?>
