One issue is that not everyone uses IMAP. What's with POP3 users (they still exist) and Exchange users?

It's not unusual for Exchange servers to have IMAP support enabled. Many organizations have bought into Microsoft's subscription model, use O365 for email instead of running Exchange servers themselves, and typically won't disable IMAP access.

POP-only mailboxes are pretty rare these days. A lot of users still use POP, but I guess mostly because they configured the mail client a decade or two ago and are not touching it again.
