I tested this on Drupal 10.1.x, using ddev, with an existing standard install. I set PHP to 7.3 and re-started ddev. I used phpmyadmin to drop all the site tables. Then I navigated to /core/install.php and got this error message
Your PHP installation is too old. Refer to the Drupal PHP requirements for the currently recommended PHP version for this release. See PHP's version support documentation for more information on PHP's own support schedule.
And from index.php this error message,
Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.1.0". You are running 7.3.33-10+0~20230214.103+debian11~1.gbp88ff76. in /var/www/html/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24
Both of those error messages are more helpful than the parse error reporting in the Issue Summary. I think this can be closed now.
