About the need to load modules...  You can build httpd with everything you
want built-in (and like nginx, change your build recipe when you need to
change the feature set).  Many people who build their own httpd for a
well-defined purpose do that, though obviously that option isn't open to
distributors.  But it is apples and oranges to a great extent...  httpd
chooses to push as many features as practical into modules for various
reasons, whereas nginx has a bigger set of features in the core server
(which is handier for the average user and essentially required given the
need to rebuild to add a module).
