At the time, installing apache + php + mysql was just a simple apt-get away. Running jsp required finding and installing the sun jre just to see that for this you needed the sdk then setting up tomcat (not that simple), learn how to setup all those xml files needed, generate a war file to be able to deploy your application. And nobody was providing cheap hosting for java application.
So yes for a newbie/amateur, PHP was the easy/quick solution.

For the longest time php + mysql was your only option. It wasn't until VPS got cheaper that people could really start playing around with things like ruby on rails or python without a bunch of headaches.
