I'm not knowledgeable on this topic at all, but I can tell that the bulk of julia development hasn't involved a lot of thought towards web technologies. So I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the infrastructure just isn't really there to support web servers well in julia.
That said, my personal favourite thing about julia is not actually its speed but the fact that it's an incredibly expressive, flexible and composable language (I'd say julia learned all the mot important lessons lisp had to teach). If I had to guess, I'd think that building the infrastructure for devs to work on web servers from the ground up may very well be easier in julia than in most other langauges, including python. I may be off the mark though.
One other note since it was mentioned elsewhere, there actually is work being done right now to have julia compile to WebAssembly code which could be pretty cool!
