The fact that you're discriminating against NodeJS is pretty negative. Its not a whole different topic, its a BE "language" just like PHP, Java and C#. No differentiation required.

Ok, but numbers speak for itself, 78% PHP vs 2% Node.js is kinda unarguable, why? Because there is long way to go for JS platform to outplay any of languages, Python as well. Everything has itโ€™s pros and cons here and there, but still we use PHP/C# and others..

That PHP โ€œbackendsโ€ as you call it were already developed, Laravel, Symfony, no need to reinvent the wheel.

You're comparing bananas and monkeys though. You're moving towards CMS territory here. If you want to go there, there are plenty of CMSes written in NodeJS as well.
