It seems more like they are deployed behind load balancers, because load balancing is a specific job that it makes sense to do with a separate piece of software. Admittedly, that separate piece of software is often nginx, but there are other popular options, and I don't think very many people use Apache that way (though I could be wrong).

I guess I should have said Apache Traffic Server rather than httpd. Their plugins and routing configuration is getting pretty enjoyable to work with.

Every third telecom around the world uses apache to load balance requests for specific application.

Source: I have to support that SW stack.
