A reason why not is because it will break backwards compatibility with
existing (though admittedly unlikely) code which also can't be fixed
by easy search and replace:
$foo = "gnegg";
echo "$foo?->bar()"
would be fine in PHP < 8 and would blow up with `Uncaught Error: Call
to a member function bar() on string` with this change.
I'm not saying this is a problem because code like this is unlikely to
be written, but it *is* a BC break.
