Because people who don't actually know how to build websites are fooled into thinking they have a tool that will fill that knowledge gap, despite the security implications that they are oblivious to.
- onion2k 10y agoIt's the first choice among a huge number of web devs though, which seems contrary to it being that the person deploying it doesn't know better.

That puts it ahead of 90% of the opposition off the bat because the client is already comfortable with the platform. Developers like programming more than they like teaching people how to use the sites they built.
