You can run Apache and Tomcat on windows if you so choose. You can even run nginx (albeit on top of Cygwin) [0].
You also don't need IIS to run HTTP endpoints. That said, IIS7+ is a pretty nice web server (I speak from experience as a shared web hoster ops and dev person). It's got a plethora of knobs and dials for tuning and is extensible (via native or managed code modules and handlers). But as always, horses for courses and all that.

IIS is great too and in-box. It's nice having smart defaults but a lot of options.
