You already stated the obvious: PHP and Ruby apps generated far more revenues simply by existing longer.

I also question the revenue claim.

Google has a lot of revenue. Pinterest, Hashicorp, Uber, Twitch, Dropbox, etc. all have a good amount of golang and collectively have a lot of revenue. It might need a few more years to tip the scale, but it's closer than suggested here.

Twitch was initially built with Ruby on Rails as well.
