PHP has been able to move on, and since it's server side language things are easier to change on a per-site basis. Iframes must remain fully backwards compatible or they break the web as a whole, same with anything else being rendered by the browser.

In a way PHP is one of the tools which helped to move away from iframes.

With "static" web pages people used iframes, so they didn't have to update navigation on all pages. With PHP you cod simply do <?php include ('menu.php');?> and had a single source of truth.

This makes about 90% of early PHP scripts :)
