No. They just happened to start out with different technologies. All of
them have one thing in common: they don't rely on SMP computers, but
rather on load balancing. So your point is totally moot.

Over half of the world's websites runs on Apache 1.x. Now please go back
to the Apache documentation and check exactly how much multi-threading
support Apache 1.x has. In case that question is too hard for you, the
answer is: 'none'. Your point is unsupported by evidence (on the contrary,
the often much simpler architected 'LAMP' applications seem to be the ones
that often run perfectly rather than the needlessly complex Java apps) and
completely irrelevant.
So, in a last effort to see whether you're serious here: please give me 1
(ONE) use case where native multithreading is mandatory for an appserver.
