The value proposition is how well the language suits stateless Web Development & HTTP. Every request is an new sandbox, it's easy to pick up for beginners and fast to get started, decent performance, no need to figure out how to compile anything. From my experience, a huge % of PHP companies started out with a Wordpress site, added a few features then a few years later they are now hooked and are doing things more seriously with Symfony or Laravel.
