Why? Is this due to it's frequent releases (I don't think apache releases
too frequently)?

The more manually installed software exists on the (complex) system,
the more troubles will be with maintenance. What I like about almost
any package manager is that it helps to keep all packages controllable
in uniform way, without a need to remember which file belongs to which
package, how to install/upgrade any particular one and so on - package
manager's control scripts handles that (I almost always review those
scripts anyway, but that's another story).
