Nice tool, hadn't heard of it before.

I think there's likely a long tail of small (non-tech) businesses that run WordPress (or Drupal/Joomla) on a traditional shared web host (the kind that only offers PHP and MySQL/MariaDB).

I'd say that ignoring the whales, PHP and MySQL (especially WordPress) are the opposite of the long tail.
I agree, and even some of the whales are using php/MySQL albeit in some cases, highly modified versions of php.
