Apache 2.4 has had a stable release out for over 2 years but is only
used by 2.5% of active Apache sites. Why is the adoption so low?? The
Apache foundation has been recommending upgrading to 2.4 for some time
and looking at the improvements I see significant value in several. I
don't see any reason why anybody wouldn't want to use it but the
community seems to think it's bad.
What am I missing??

Biggest problem is with Apache changing format of conf entries.
For example, when Ubuntu upgraded to Apache-2.4.x the normal
upgrade process bricked every single domain being served.
I was able to find the fix + had to hand edit 100s of files
for domain confs.
For most mere mortals, doing an upgrade + having 100s or 1000s
of domains go dark, creates much discomfort in pits of their stomachs.
Many people, just rolled back OS version + Apache.
In the future, might be best to think about this before hand...
if mass adoption of new code is the end goal.
