For most of my deployments, the performance impact of a reverse proxy is negligible, I have the configs pre-prepared and it allows me to add TLS termination, URL rewrites or other shenanigans without much effort in the future.
So for me, it's mostly a habit that has paid out so far.

There's a bit of "Conway's Law" going on here, depending on the reporting structure and political makeup of the organization.
