It is the same model that Heroku has, but for php instead of ruby. Since Heroku just sold to Salesforce for 200+ million( http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/08/breaking-salesforce-buys-heroku-for-212-million-in-cash/ ), they are probably banking that there are more php people than ruby.
As far as adding extra libraries, it is the age old discussion of "infrastructuture as a service" (IaaS) vs "platform as a service" (PaaS). It is a valid model.
