Mostly historical. mod_jk uses a lot of common code for supporting the Apache web server, but also IIS and Sun web servers. That code was historically written without the use of APR. There is a long standing idea of migrating everything to APR and thus introducing the APR dependency even for the ISAPI and NSAPI variants. Using EAPI fpr httpd 1.3 would have also introduced a dependency that's not fulfilled e.g. by the default httpd 1.3 source download.
