Because it hasn't been adequately tested under load and there are known
threading issues in a number of 3rd-party libraries commonly hooked into
PHP. If you stay with the prefork MPM you might get away with it, but
then you might as well use the stable and extremely well-tested Apache
1.3.x.

No idea. Nobody is really working on it, so at this pace, never. Apache
1.3.x works too well. There aren't really any compelling reasons to
switch to Apache2, at least on UNIX, so we lack motivation to put a lot of
work into it.
