You're quoting from a paragraph that's summarizing the history of Apache, and the statement was true about Apache 1.x.
Back in the day, Apache 2.0 took a long time to gain substantial market share, for various reasons. The situation was not too dissimilar from the current Python 2/3 split.
Edit: But I guess Apache never forked for every connection, even in 1.3. It only forked if it needed a new child and the existing ones were busy.
