Because you have to "know" what you are doing when you set up an Apache server. If you set up IIS, you don't really need to know "anything" about it. MS has made it super easy to set up an IIS server.
Apache is a different beast all together. You have to set permissions, alter config files, read through manual etc. That being said, you can screw up your Apache install too.
I am also going to take a guess that the majority of those Apache servers are shared hosted sites (multiple sites on a single server) of bulk hosting services (GoDaddy, etc). And it is probably alot easier to remake an Apache server from an exisiting config file rather than going through all the steps to set up another IIS server.
That may change with Vista though.
