Saw some really ugly ness with a large company as late as 2019:

The company is trying to move to the cloud they think.

What they don't know is they have servers like this, running on internet facing machines, and the http servers are missing two years of patches!

All hanging by the thin thread of ip filtering using a geo ip database (that is also outdated) etc.

Yep: management and IT want Windows because maintainability, that particular dev wanted Apache server so Apache server on Windows it was.

Note that Apache Tomcat is an implementation of Java Servlets, not to be confused with Apache httpd, the venerable web server.
