Hey, I'm the author of the post. A while ago I made a video where I built a small but serious hobby project in PHP with Laravel. It was a five hour recording, but I condensed it into a commentated 20-minutes timelapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmtVkDh9RGw
If you don't have the time to watch it, you can also check out the open source code of that project: https://github.com/brendt/aggregate.stitcher.io
I still work on it, and I'd say i's a pretty accurate representation of a standard Laravel application.

And to be clear, Laravel is a piece of Symfony software.
There are 13 Symfony dependencies in https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/9.x/composer.json alone, and many of the Laravel packages listed in there also depend on them; the Laravel Request class extends Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request, the Response class extends Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response, etc.
