That's a bit of a strawman. Caddy is far more lightweight than apache and even nginx. It just happens to do something they don't do.

I have no idea how this is relevant to the conversation, nor who said anything about hyperbolic claims.
You're claiming "caddy does everything". As opposed to what? If you're running apache or nginx, your server does far more than caddy, so you're quite simply mistaken.

Serving content over http(s), and obtaining TLS certificates are two very different tasks.

Far more, that is directly related to serving content over http/https.
Separation of concerns means you are in control, and using separate layers means you can swap one out when a vulnerability/show-stopper bug is discovered.
What exactly do you do when your look-ma-no-hands server won't even start?
Edit: maybe "all-things-to-all-people" was the wrong term to use here.
