Because I think there is a base-level expectation that the 
best place to get things FOR Apache is FROM Apache. 

If there are a ton of 'useful' modules for Apache that are
KNOWN to work then what is the big deal with at least
providing a distribution that has all these 'goodies' in it?

You can call the directory where they are installed
'/try/these/at/your/own/risk/" 
or
"/we/don't/really/maintain/these/goodies/but/here/they/are"
if you really want to, people won't care... they just might think 
it's nice to get Apache products FROM Apache. 

It's a base-level expectation these days.

Yours...
