Not quite. Passenger makes Rails deployment easier, sure, but it's the fundamental nature of PHP not requiring an app server and just loading everything per request that's the real trick - I know FPM changes that, btw.

That's a fair point. "Why didn't it change? I updated the code." That's definitely a barrier when there's no distinction between development and production.
