If it is that easy to move 202k sites (111k net) to an entirely different

easy to move away, then for 2.2 to 2.4 migration to continue to be painful
will surely hurt httpd adoption, down the road.
I don't think the numbers necessarily speak to the difficulty in
upgrading (or switching). There are
some people who won't switch until absolutely forced, and others who
have new requirements
or are just more liberal in making a change.
I personally do not really see a lot of bad feedback about 2.2 to 2.4
migration. Maybe there would be a good perspective from e.g. one of
the debian maintainers, because their users in some way would have
been "forcibly" dragged though it to stay current on the OS.
In my experience, it's not the apache upgrade difficulty per se, but the
fact that a lot of people using RHEL / SLES have yet to upgrade to their
latest versions (RHEL 7 / SLES 12) which include Apache 2.4
