(We were also running the Netscape web server, because we depended on a plugin for it to insert inventory from our NetGravity ad server. And boy now I feel old.)

I think because in the beginning, both nsapi and fastcgi rolled out with commercial, non-free web servers. There wasn't a free fastcgi capability for Apache until 1999 or so, where mod_perl was around since 1996, I think.
