Enterprise-scale companies tend to use Java or C#/.Net, for a variety of reasons: familiarity, enterprise-scale tooling, easier to outsource, integration with other enterprise tools from Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, etc. Big companies tend to use tools they have already invested in, and have staff trained to use. Laravel/PHP, or anything different from the languages and tools already in use are perceived as low-end and requiring parallel infrastructure and staff. Some large companies shy away from open source for core business products, preferring support contracts and stable, controlled release schedules.
The only time I see PHP at a large company is marketing groups setting up WordPress sites, on managed hosting, and they aren't writing PHP.
You will find plenty of Laravel/PHP and similar tooling in small and medium-sized businesses.
