I've seen this also, yes. I'm not too surprised that there is prominent,
commercial usage of Guacamole, with or without modifications. As long as
that usage complies with the Apache License and with trademarks, there's
no issue here.

It's important to remember that, while contributions are welcome from
all, they are not required for someone to use the software, including
for commercial purposes.
See:

From above:
"... What should I do when I find a website that charges for Apache
software?
In most cases, you can simply remember that Apache source code is always
available free of charge directly from the appropriate Apache project.
If you see a non-Apache.org website that is confusingly similar to the
Apache brand, or leads consumers to believe that it is an official
Apache website, check the Apache Trademark Policy for our contact
details and let us know about the site.
Note that many other organizations sell their own branded software
products that may include or be integrated with Apache software; our
license permits this type of use. Similarly, many other organizations
sell consulting, training, or other services or hosting related to
Apache software. As long as these organizations aren't confusing users
into believing the services or products are coming from Apache, they're
generally okay. ..."
