I guess it's a bit hard to change the way of thinking and structuring programs/applications. We mostly do either blocking procedural things, or web servers. Maybe actors can help remove the network from web servers where they add unnecessary complexity/overhead. At the same time Web servers seem a bit better as I don't really want to be figuring out how many actors of each "class of actor" to spawn and to maybe babysit each of them, and for debugging the web stack has more tooling and is better understood than any particular actor system. The advantages seem mostly out of experience and a lot of time. Maybe some iteration of an Actor framework will render Web servers too quirky/unsafe/slow/complex.
