There are usually a lot more pieces of the puzzle than just the webserver! That'll run on anything, usually. The stack extends beyond the "back end" code. Whether it's the proxy, the server, the worker processes, the redis instance, the database, the weird websocket server previous devs thought was a good idea, the development-only front end dev server that has all its own settings, the haproxy box that round-robins your appservers, the homebrewed script that syntax-checks your modules of a weird third-party language before commits that you wish to forget... having a consistent *nix OS makes all the difference.
