Wordpress is not old, it is just very badly written.

I've been using WordPress on Nginx for almost a decade now, I just found that bit funny given the context.

WordPress itself is fine. Many plugins, however, assume Apache (and MySQL).
If you have an existing configuration written in any, it invariably ended up as a pile of hacks, domains and misredirections that is a pain to rewrite for the other. That makes it hard to change.
Apache has support for some modules, mostly for authentication, that nginx doesn't have.
Old applications, like wordpress, are only supported and documented on Apache.
