Webapps are simpler to install to base users, they are generally just a "extract, change perms, execute php stuff". Other stuff is quite more difficult, and sometime you don't have new security bugs while upstream is away or dead. If all the "upstream away for more than 3 months" or "upstream dead, package works like a charm" will be removed in a couple of months from portage, users will start complaining. And I cannot say I would disagrees with them.
