Outside of performance there's probably concerns about security and liability.
It may be tough to justify using free software to a Fortune 500 company when
they're responsible for securing data and controlling what has access to it. If
they use commercial software at least they have a target if something goes
wrong. Not to saying there's anything wrong with PHP, but may be tougher to
make it a standard in larger companies.
