PHP is one of the language with the most connectivity solutions, fast adoption of new technologies, etc. Why? Because the language itself is relatively stable while its extensions are created every day for every possible use. However it seems that you forgot to consider what I said here a couple of times already. Having one nosql extension in core won't make hosters make the respective server side infrastructure available. How many hosters provide firebird? DB2? Only sqlserver is part of the standard windows offers but that's due to some different factors. That's why we should differentiate general purposes extensions like pecl's http and driver like mongo.
