Could you elaborate? Adding method-like array access functions with only few predefined functions, and only for arrays looks very limited in scope, while the pipe operator would allow applying any existing function, be it internal or userland one, to any type of variable, not limited by arrays, having the same "fluent api" feel. Also it clearly distincts between object method calls and function application, which is a plus for clarity, IMO. I am also not sure who the "people" you refer to are, because, well, I am among the people using PHP daily, and I would personally prefer a more generic solution, which the Pipe Operator currently is.
