There is no logic there (as many things in french), it's up to Mistral to choose how the plural can be
I worked with Laravel and trust me, it's a pain in the ass when you have a medium/big project. The "documentation" (more a how-to) is full of bad practices, the facade pattern makes it hard to refactor or change the underline logic, you can break the contract easily (it's just php annotations, not real type-hints), the ORM is a pain to test and has too much magic, you use strings to set the validation makes it hard to understand when it's not trivial, the request->input() takes query/body so you end up mixing everything and some clients use the API in various way, there is helpers to get the config/service anywhere (even in static methods) which makes it painful to test and refactor, etc. I strongly recommend to use Symfony instead, the documentation is great, the profiler is built-in, the cache is better (faster), it's type-hinted and strict, there is interfaces, it scales well because it's flexible and well thought.
I have the exact same issue, it starts to be choppy at random time and I have to reboot, usually in the middle of my work. I'm considering switching to another OS because of this single issue that has been there for years.
Eloquent is one of the worst ORM I worked with. It works until it doesn't, there is too much magic and it mixes SQL/Entity in the same class. Since then I use doctrine and/or repository pattern which makes the code more extensible and testable, it's also trivial to do your own raw SQL request and map it to your entity if you don't want to rely on an ORM.
