This is not really correct, /srv/www is for data provided by a webservice to
end users, not web application code. If possible, such code belongs below /usr.

In best case, a RPM should not contain or install any file or directory in
/srv.
And while most developers don't care yet, this means that this packages are
already unusable on MicroOS with transactional-update and will not work with
modern technologies like systemd-sysext and other stuff, which all depends on
the "hermetic-usr" concept.

That there are still packages installing stuff into /srv/wwww which does not
belong there means:
1. the developer did not care to adjust his package in the last >>10 years
2. the upstream code does not allow to package it correct
