I am not the tone police, but I don't think such comments are helpful.
Let me be clear: I'm not suggesting we should ignore useful functionality because of poor design decisions made in the past but I am saying that we should avoid compounding those mistakes by building on top of them. Would a $_PUT superglobal be helpful? Sure. But is it a good solution to underlying problem? Not really.
Indeed. I think what we really need is something like $_REQUEST but for the request body exclusively ($_BODY). We'd then have $_GET for query parameters and $_BODY for request body (POST, PUT, PATCH, etc.) parameters. While at it, why not add a better version of $_GET which doesn't replace certain characters with undescores?
