The reason is more likely to be agglomeration; people settle where other
people settle; web servers require considerable work and skill to devel-
op, maintain, and integrate with other parts of the network, or the de-
velopment environment; the more you spread these resources across imple-
mentations, the higher the cost of individual deployments: educational
resources are harder to come by, extensions and adaptions have to be de-
veloped from scratch more often. The implementations consequently do not
particularily compete on matters of the underlying protocols, but e.g.
how they exploit system resources and support development resources.
