Like with most of the criticisms along these lines, they don't bother actually researching why something is a certain way. There was a time when there was no AddHandler directive. Addtype was the way you did this. Since AddType works with every version of Apache I never saw a reason to change this even after AddHandler was added since it is purely academic in nature.
I think that is a minor matter anyway, my own installation notes follow old practices, but it is about time that I tidied them up.
The Apache2 debate is more interesting. I am just running up a nice new AMD64, with SUSE9.1 (no 9.2 disk handy), and the first thing I find - and which does not bother me at all - ONLY Apache2 in the distribution. I KNOW all the reasons for feet dragging, and I am doing it myself over VCL/Win32 and Microsoft's latest 'standards', but at some point we will all have to give in an move on. Is now not the time at least to start treating Apache2 as a current version, and start looking into the problems?
