The rest of the sentence you quoted explains that nginx, Caddy, and Apache are all webservers (which can also reverse proxy). Traefik and HAproxy are only reverse proxies and not webservers.

HAProxy can be a web server though, albeit it is not designed to operate this way and thus requires some goofy configuration to make happen. I only know this because it was useful for me while working on a HAProxy extension.
