Popular has little to do with fair, and a lot to do with being in the right place at the right time.
And network effects mean that being popular can make something desirable for some uses even when its intrinsic features aren't superior. And, anyway, while Ruby may sometimes lose to PHP for this reasons, it (due to Rails) often benefits from this, too.
