I agree that it still owns a massive chunk of the backend market. 20-something years in, and it's still difficult to shake.

However, I would take the numbers on the site you linked with a big grain of salt. Detecting which backend technology powers a site without direct evidence is nearly impossible. PHP may be high up the list since it and its associated stack leak the most metadata.



I've totally copied php http headers into non-php backends just to see what happens. It costs nothing and gets a trifle more security.

(Not really but it makes me giggle at least)
