I didn't want to really get into the distinction (Apache is an app server too if you consider mod_*). Yes, IHS is common and they will often use that.
As part of my broader point, IHS is a product, one of many Apache-based products. They're not using the open source project code directly. Even if IBM's "innovations" are modest, they're using it because IHS and the WAS plugin work best with WebSphere. I've managed to convince some to avoid this combo in favour of a simple HAproxy, but it's hard.
