ELI5: Phi, or the Golden Ratio - Why is it so prolific? What about the number makes it so useful? And why do we observe it so often?

I know that Phi is the approximate number you get if you divide each term of the fibonacci sequence by the previous one, and I know that the fibonacci sequence as well as the golden ratio can be observed in living organisms, music, architecture, aesthetics and mathematics.

But why?

There is a reason it applies in some biological organisms (eg. It allows for more sunlight when leaves on a stem are arranged in this manner), but the idea that this ratio is especially prevalent, or meaningful, really isn't true. Of course, you can see it everywhere - if you are looking for it, you can find it (particularly if you're not too concerned about the exactness of the ratio)
