For hosting companies, PHP has a unique benefit: A single installation which scales with the load. Most Python, .NET, Java, NodeJS, Docker, whatever require to run a seperate executable for each site permanently (producing a basic workload / memory consumption / security mgmt needs / ... ).
In that sense, PHP is like a early variant of Lambda ;) When there would be a universal, simple-install, simple-use, low-requirement version of Lambda (incl. Gateway etc) we would see a easier hosting market for all the languages beyond the public clouds.
