Facebook used PHP because they wanted to build something really quickly and afterwards it became too costly to switch, as it always does, so they built an entire engineering department to work around PHP issues. Your average PHP dev team can't do that. Plus, what are you comparing it to? Reasonable people don't compare it to Vlang, they compare it to Python, Ruby, Java, C#/.NET, Javascript/Typescript, Golang, and PHP ranks at best averagely against those regarding language, standard library and ecosystem consistency.
