I tend to agree, my main choice is NGINX. I've seen people run servers with
everything under the sun, even with 'python3 -m http.server' and 'php -S'.
The fact they exists doesn't make them good options.

Also, we are seeing CDN and cloud providers providing their own which tend to
skew the stats a bit by comparing oranges to apples.

Generally speaking, NGINX will handle more traffic and a higher connection
rate out of the box with the same machine specs and is usually chosen over
Apache in high traffic websites (or as a front-end cache to ease the life of
Apache on the backend).

Also, the fact one server is most used than another does not directly
translate to which is better, the purpose is the key factor I guess.

Finally, if you have experience configuring Apache or it's the server
supported by your application/vendor, better stick with it instead of trying
to deploy NGINX but fail to properly secure/configure it.

Cheers!
