Hmm I'm not sure most people mean html files when they say 'web server' - I used to run a mail server, a couple websites, a blog, a couple wikis, with auth integration, and a couple custom web apps with live two-way messaging capabilities and associated backends...
You don't need much fancy for a plain page, no, but that's also not really what I'm talking about. I still sometimes use local services on my lan, with web interfaces, which are NOT routers, dishwashers, etc. - think file or media management.
