Sure. Still seems an odd arbitrary criteria. Wikipedia seems to do fine with php, as do several other large sites.

Would they pass up booking.com solely because it's Perl? The value there hasn't much to do with the plumbing.

Php today bears little resemblance to the performance drag it was years ago.

I’d wager they’d take a closer look these days.

That said, there is a lot of poorly written legacy php code out there before frameworks really took off for that language.
