It's a mature product, it's stable and it works. Most problems have been solved. As a result there isn't much to talk about, therefore it gets drowned by less mature technologies which have yet to solve their problems and thus generate more press. As for why startups don't use it, well it's a boring technology and boring technologies are bad if your objective is to justify hiring lots of engineers and build an engineering playground to justify all that VC money, so they go for something more fickle and fast-moving like JS or "serverless" instead. Companies who use it exist (and even new ones), you don't hear about it much because they're too busy solving their business problem and making profit instead of messing around with tech and talking about it.
