My 2c: I don't think market share is a big motivating factor for active contributors. HTTP/3 would be a lot of work, a lot of shoehorning into HTTPD, and likely be de-stabilizing for quite some time. There is simply nobody (seemingly) working on it. HTTPD is great and familiar to lots of people, but HTTPD'S age brings a lot of baggage. Lots of other great servers have much less baggage and currently have much more commercial interest and buzz.
