Why are classes divided into BaseFoo and Foo?
Why aren’t used abstract classes instead?

Good question.
Probably, its a Yii2 vision for future… multiple classes being extended from the same BaseFoo class.
For example FileHelper1, FileHelper2 maybe.
See this: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/docs/guide/helpers.md#extending-helper-classes
Thanks guys!
Anyway, shouldn’t BaseFoo classes be abstract?
They’re not abstract, they actually implement the logic.
It doesn’t make any sense since nothing prevents you from calling a static method of an abstract class.
