Apache foundation is retirement home for projects so it checks out

I wouldn't say thats accurate. Theres many super successful and active apache projects still. To name a few:

Kafka, Cassandra, Zookeeper, Spark, Tomcat, Superset, Storm, Lucene,Log4j2, Hadoop, etc. The list goes on, but I would safely say that a majority of the world's systems run on Apache projects which are for the most part actively developed

And arguably the venerable Apache HTTP Server · https://httpd.apache.org/ :-)

Despite all the modern alternatives, I'd bet my life that a majority (>50%) of the web is still being served by httpd.

"modern" is often overrated.

Not sure about others but tools like Superset have plenty of better alternatives like Grafana and Metabase.

So when there are better alternatives, it's not too inaccurate.
