Because with multiple servers, we store them all in (replicated) mysql :) (the same with postfix/dovecot). and as I'm sure you are aware, Apache does not understand standard crypted MD5, hence why there is the second option of apache_md5_crypt()
with multiple servers, we use pam & nss, with a replicated ldap backed. this serves all auth requests for all services and no services cares if it is sha, md5, or a crypt method.
