Apache is minimal on purpose. If you want something to do foo on top of what Apache does, then get something to do foo that you can add on. In the meantime, all the users that don't even know that foo exists aren't stuck with the security holes and complexity in foo.
>95% of IIS holes are really holes in random things distributed with IIS that MS should have never ever bundled in the way they did.
