HHVM arose out of Facebook's desire to save on server purchasing and operating costs. Facebook could run perfectly well without it on Plain Old PHP, but they'd have to buy and power more servers.
I'd hardly call PHP a "bad technology choice" given the outstanding financial success of many companies that use it.
