Nothing really. Historically Apache HTTPD was slower than the newer web servers like NGinx when Apache HTTPD 2.2 was the mainline version. This is no longer the case with Apache 2.4 using the latest APR libraries. 2.4 has been out for a very long time, but some Linux distros were slow to uptake it.

Just like some of them were slow to take on 2.2 over 2.0, and 2.0 over 1.2.

Web servers have historically been pretty conservative as far as software goes.
