How so?
Because PHP is a memory-safe language? The problem with Java and PHP is not that they are insecure, its that there is barely any barrier for entry and thus much of the existing code is very low quality.
For example, if they can deploy infrastructure more efficiently (and securely as a byproduct). Or if they're able to get reliability out of a software library (and security as a byproduct).
You have to find these win-win situations where the developers/clients are not even aware of security improvements.

All of those OSes are written in C, C++ and sputterings of asm.
The entire point of an OS is to handle low level unsafe stuff so the user doesn't have to. Writing in a lower level language doesn't just make sense, it's straight up necessary. Rust is the only "modern" language that's anywhere near the stability and maturity required, but it's still quite young and rough.
