You are spreading misinformation then.

The configuration change was never a full protection from this vulnerability because the problem is with how PHP processed the request well before the configuration or your PHP code was executed.

That's what I wrote? You can't do anything once PHP executed. It could still be worse, because you can still prevent PHP from running, because there is still the webserver before. If it were in the webserver itself, you couldn't do anything, short of stopping the server from running.

It is, if the configuration change prevents PHP from running. That's how you could say it is overblown. You are not vulnerable if you don't run PHP.
