I understand EE position on this.
I think, as web designer/developers the responsibility is on our shoulders.
When clients need new site or re-design, if they need a CMS and I decide to go with EE, I usually tell them upfront that I’ll need to check their hosting provider to make sure it has all the features needed. If they’re stuck on an antiquated server (you’d be shocked at some of the things I found…), then I offer them to either move to a good hosting company or do the hosting for them via my VPS. I perform the move for them free of charge knowing that it will save me lots of headache in the future… I’ve never had a client who had a problem with it. In my experience, if you take care of everything for them a clearly explain why they need to move, no one has any type of emotional attachment to their hosting provider 😉

The PHP was originally founded in 1995. It made a tremendous impact in the beginning. I am a web developer and I started using it in 1998. In my view the most important disadvantage of it is that it had a lot of vulnerabilities. Most of these vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely by hackers and this resulted in theft of data. I think this was the main reason for its decline in popularity.
