Well, the actual Apache tribe at large are not the ones primarily effected by Apache server. It's tech nerds that have to live with Apache server and any PC name change. This change will would have a nontrivial cost for practically everyone involved in the project, including textbook authors and maintainers.

It's a bit bizzare to be upset at the logic used to come up with the name, rather than be upset at the name being used.
It would have been fine if the guy naming the product had been less ignorant of history, or just hadn't written the logic down?
