This.
One also has to remember that long ago there was no serverless, no VPS/cloud/ec2/linode instances, no heroku/beanstalk/appengine, no docker/vagrant - to get going fast you had $x/mo shared hosting and [W|X]AMP for development, and this horrible thing called FTP. The only reasonable way to host a website cheaply was on some terrible shared hosting server which only [reasonably] supported php and mysql (okay I lie there was a cgi-bins and mod_perl) otherwise you'd be looking at dedicated servers.
