Because when push comes to shove, it's easy to write, easy to make poorly thought-out patches and bugfixes to, and easy to set up and run.
The main criticisms I hear of PHP are that it's "too easy" and lends itself to spaghetti code and security flaws.
Being too easy means the market is saturated with PHP developers and it can be difficult, especially for HR, to decide who is actually a good programmer, and who is not.
