This might be the worst argument for anything I've read this week, there's got to be a name for this logical fallacy

A "slippery slope" fallacy might be what you're thinking of.
It's almost a meta-slippery-slope fallacy, in that the specific slope is not specified; only the existence of the slope and its slipperiness is asserted.
The slope we've observed over the decades is PHP. Which went from "basic HTML templating language" to "dotnet but you write $ everywhere". PHP has grown so much in complexity and feature-set that Symphony and the likes are legitimately dotnet-type. They make Go backends look low-level and primitive.
