It's a lot more than "a bit of opinion". It's a huge framework with tons of unique and original features. You're being very reductive. Yes it does use Symfony components for some core functionality, but that's just a small part of what Laravel offers.

I think we largely agree; I just think "Laravel or Symfony" is somewhat a false dilemma because of this. You can build your own system on Symfony libraries... or you can use Laravel's system that's heavily built on Symfony libraries, with a lot of the plumbing done for you.
