It is called the long tail. PHP is only language with okay CMSs. The reason for it is the hosting model. It is easy way how to give someone package of files and they can buy their own managed hosting, put the files there and they have website.
Its all the tiny businesses restaurants, schools, fan sites. Sites with 5 visitors a day. Probably like 50% of web is this.
You can hate PHP all you want but there is no tech that does this better (maybe serverless one day). And PHP cmses are in completely different league compared to anything else unfortunately. Things like Craft, Kirby, Bolt or even Wordpress nothing unfortunately compares.
Of course people here are gonna hate on it and i hate PHP as much as anyone but when you are living from making websites for 500eur and you need to make 3 a month then it is hard to beat.
