That is just an anecdata but it is all I have on the subject.
Red Hat still has one of its offering based on Apache and Tomcat, named JBoss Web Server: https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/jboss-middleware/web-server
and the latest update available (5.4, based on upstream Tomcat 9) in November 2020, had the bits for RH EL 6, 7 and 8. See also docs entry page here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_web_server/5.4/
So it is non considered a dead technology, even for business use cases....
OK it looks like whatever I say is going to be taken to extremes so this will be my last email on this.
I am not saying Tomcat is a dead technology. It is a technology which has certain use cases and deployments which the people I knew who used it are replacing with a different technology/service.
