A lot of Apache work load is now behind Nginx or Haproxy, I wouldn't say those numbers are entirely truthful.

Consider how Plesk panels nowadays go with Nginx proxy by default, but Apache in the backend; CPanel will probably follow soon and people have already been doing this manually for a while too.

Apache is still there, just not in as much plain sight as it used to.

That's certainly true for us, everything is just put behind a pair of Brocade Traffic Managers. I really do like, and to some extend prefer Nginx, but we're perhaps 20 different people servicing different customers so we standardised on Apache, because it support everything, and the traffic managers deal with performance.

People like to think they are special, and that they've need more speed, so they turn to Nginx, but most of us can easily be served by Apache.
