Well it is only basic to certain job roles. POP3 is antiquated technology that no one should know first hand if they are a new IT pro today. It is something you learn only for the sake of learning or you work for a company so awful that the chances that you are skilled or trained would be incredibly low. POP3 was a dead technology when I was first getting into managing email systems in the very late 1990s. It was still around, but there was no use case for it even then.
Combine that with the almost ubiquitous lack of fundamentals in the community and I find 84% to be a crazy high number (except that 25% get it just by guessing and two of those other ports are so obvious as something else that are still used that it's 50% chance to guess for someone with even the most rudimentary knowledge.)
But there is no reason why someone in the first decade of IT would have ever needed to know the POP3 port. That's like knowing how to install a BNC connector today. Sure, some of us just remember from when that applied. Some learn it just for the sake of knowing how things used to be. But POP3 is no longer a serious IT skill, it's just archaic knowledge.
