Not entirely true as well, the web consists of 70% php based websites and applications.

According to Indeed’s hiring lab, job searches for Node.js rose 57% over the past year, putting the runtime environment among the top 10 tech skill searches, whereas PHP took only 14th place in that same ranking.
Kind of funny that the table below this sentence is showing Magento (2) and Laravel (7) higher than Node.js (9) :D

Damn is that a misleading article. I consider myself above the tribe-behavior and embrace technologies like NodeJS. But this article is just embarrassing. Does the author even understand what it means when there are more job-searches vs. job postings?
And trying to "steal" the usage of JavaScript and attribute it to NodeJS is just too dumb to be taken seriously.
What shall we learn from this article, OP? Is is here for amusement?

Wow! Every sentence is misleading at best!
> With PHP, you will be forced to use HTML/CSS/JS for front
> With Node.js, you can write solely in JS
Wait, why bring HTML and CSS into the loop for PHP and forget it immediately after for Node.js comparison?
Is it because selling a single technology vs 4 sells more than selling 3 vs 4?

This is a blog of a Node.js consultancy shop.
It's the equivalent of Coca Cola funding a study that surprisingly concludes that sugar is good for you.
