It almost always is. The term has a connotation of "the existing state of affairs for the majority of people". So the majority of the web is largely template driven web pages/apps, served from php or java or maybe python behind apache, with some stuff enhanced by javascript. That is the status quo. All of us here of course know that is largely going to go away (and it's actively even happeninge), replaced by javscript driven single page apps where templating happens client side, and the web server becomes a file transfer mechanism for the code and some data, a well tested way of doing rpc for the rest of the data.
So yes, there are pages doing this new style web right now, but that doesn't change that the mojority of web stuff is the older style. So yeah, the current state of affairs is that the web is mostly outdated.
This is necessarily true always, unless that which is being examined is stagnant.
