Why not simply remove the PHP tag?
Almost (if not) all boards has the CODE tag. Not all boards have the PHP tag.
In fact, AM is the only board I've seen where there appear to be more for "PHP" (or other tags) than the "CODE" tags. So if you ask me, it would make sense to ditch the PHP tag, and only to keep the CODE tag.
In regards to highlighting and other things, there are occasionally board specific things, such as things only available here on AM, as well as for other boards something only available there.
With most boards out there, pull requests could possibly be sent towards the upstream of such boards to include syntax highlighting also for Pawn/SourcePawn, as well as other coding/scripting languages.
There could be done so many things in regards to different things, but life is never simple, is it? You live yours, I live mine. You have your opinions, I have mine.... In the end, it all turns out that we might go in different directions.
But you're "literally" correct: Everything would indeed be much easier if we all had the same opinions and thoughts. ;-)
