and may be being cheaper to hire is a bigger importance than you'd care to admit. After all, the person paying the bills wants it to be as low as possible whilst still achieving the result. And they call the shots.

10 years ago, PHP was a good choice for small projects because hosting was much easier and there weren't a lot of cheap outsourced developers for other back-end languages. These days neither of those points is true.

PHP developers are cheap because in general they're very junior. Junior Javascript developers are cheap too.

if you are still selling work based on language and not solutions then you are still jr level as well.
