It is perhaps evidence that the subjective "it sucks" opinion is meaningless. Code is not art. Commercial usage means a lot.

And if someone calls PHP a joke, but then personally chooses it for themselves, there is certainly some inconsistency there.

Maybe once PHP finally becomes a language of the past you will be one of the few holdouts pulling in $300-$400k per year or more for working on a legacy code base, like COBOL programmers for banks. Nothing wrong with that mindset if you actually enjoy working with it and can stand being on the constant butt end of PHP jokes.
