I don't see any reason to.

So what? We're still speaking HTTP. HTTP is traditionally port
80. If someone is using HTTP just to grab tarballs, is apache just a
"file server", rather than a www-server? If someone is using HTTP to
run CGI-database queries, is apache a "database server", rather than a
www-server?

So if someone is using HTTP to version code, I don't think of apache
as any less 'webby'. It's an HTTP server, not a 'web' server.
