Because now is not futur.
PHP has many problems that node.js solves. Node is much more powerful, while not yet as optimized as PHP.
In addition, new generations are learning node and prefer it to PHP. Php loses ground each year compared to other technos; in particular node.
And then the future is the JAMstack principles, the serverless, the connection of services.
PHP is not armed against the evolution of the web. He's holding because he's still very present, but it's not gonna last.
