I do not think PHP 7.3 is stable enough (by Debian standards) to be the default. 7.2, maybe.
Personally, I have a ton of legacy websites on PHP 5.6 and I think I am not alone that cant move every web project to PHP 7+. Therefore I welcome the old PHP option if it is carrying critical security risk.
WordPress powers 30% of all websites and RECOMMENDS "PHP version 7.3 or greater". (https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
Most popular php frameworks (eg. Laravel and Symfony) MINIMUM require php 7.1.3.
PHP 5.6 is okay for legacy projects, but should not be the default or only option installed.
But PHP 5.6 is an optional legacy in this install script. The 7.x should be bumped to 7.2 at least. Not that installing additional PHP versions is a problem.
