Why is PHP's popularity decreasing?

Five reasons from my perspective

Here is my attempt at answering this question that was posted on Quora. If you want a much more in-depth answer; the full details are available via post on Medium. Here I will answer the question using Memes because let's be honest that is the content we are really after.

  1. A choice in languages
  2. The prevalence of Software Platforms as a Service
  3. The increase in importance of First Contentful Paint in SEO
  4. Maintenance is expensive
  5. An abundance of entry level developers
