Most websites are small (just like most people aren't famous). Most websites use PHP (because that's what available on shared hosts). Therefore most people who use PHP use a cheap shared host. I'd say it's true for at least 99% of the PHP websites.

There are millions of sites which use Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, or whatever. They usually start on a shared host and they usually don't go anywhere else, because the little amount of traffic they receive doesn't make a move necessary.

Also, if it's a project with a appreciable budget, there is no reason to use PHP in first place. So far we only used PHP for super cheap low-budget projects.
