Does it make sense? -> I have read "self::" all time as a shortcut for

Is there a reason why self:: doesn't reset the internal "static" reference?
A reasonably intuitive parallel that occurred to me is that $this is also
maintained through self:: calls (as long as they're not to a method
declared static).
So if you replace the static:: call in my previous example with a $this->
call, you get the same result:
# https://3v4l.org/deRcD
class A {
function call() {
self::method1();
}
function method1() {
$this->method2();
}
function method2() {
echo 'Base definition';
}
}
class B extends A {
function method2() {
echo 'Override';
}
}
(new B)->call(); # echoes 'Override'
