I’m developing a big project now and I’m thinking about using nginx with php-fpm
instead of nginx with apache and mod_php.
My concern is why this setup is not popular? Why does everybody use nginx + apache? Is there an issue?

Many people perceive Apache to be easier because they already know it. However, since php-fpm came out this has been decreasingly the case. The entire Nginx community recommends using php-fpm and, in general, ditching Apache. It gives you significantly more control as well.
You’re statement that everyone uses Apache behind Nginx is a naive one, and false as well.
